Chevy Nova Leaf Springs

Leaf springs have been used for suspension on all kinds of wheeled vehicles for centuries. Such parts remain mostly unnoticeable up until they begin breaking down or wearing out. In general, your Chevy Nova leaf springs are produced from out of thin, arc-shaped stripes of durable metal, with each consecutive stripe being a bit shorter than the previous one. When the assembly consisting of five to seven pieces is bolted together, they form a mechanical assembly which in its outward appearance is somewhat similar to a bow. The assembly is attached to the rear axle to support the vehicle weight, including its passenger compartment, trunk, and so on.
