Leaf springs 1

General 1.1

BPW Code number

The BPW code number of the leaf spring is stamped into
one of the spring layers or into the spring shackle.

Up to 1996, BPW leaf springs for VB suspension units
were supplied with two hooked ends.
After that the leaf springs were only manufactured with
one hooked end.
When replacements are needed, we now only supply leaf
springs or spring layers with one hooked end.

When installed, the hooked end must be fi tted towards
the rear (see arrow).

The contact points between the leaf springs and the

retainers or sliders must be well greased in order to

prevent unnecessary wear and rattling.
