FAQs

What does a rear spring mounting pad do?

It sits between the rear axle and leaf spring, helping locate the axle while reducing vibration and noise.

Is this supplied as a pair?

No. Pads are supplied individually. Check how many are required for your application. If multiple pads are worn or compressed, replacing the full set at the same time helps keep axle-to-spring height and alignment consistent.

Should these be replaced during axle removal?

It is sensible to inspect and replace worn mounting pads whenever the rear axle or springs are removed.
