Parabolic or multi-leaf?

Two constructions for the same job. Telling them apart helps you ask for the right part.

Parabolic spring: two tapered, spaced leaves

Parabolic

Few leaves of varying thickness, touching only at the ends and at the centre. Lighter, with less inter-leaf friction: standard fit on most recent vehicles.

Multi-leaf spring: pack of leaves in contact, of decreasing length

Multi-leaf

Many constant-thickness leaves of decreasing length, in contact with each other. Robust and easy to repair leaf by leaf: typical of working vehicles, trailers and classics.
