Owens only manufacture using high-grade steels and processes, they are a leading supplier of leaf spring throughout Europe so we know we are supplying an exceptional quality spring that will withstand the prolonged use of a leaf spring in this area.
Using High-Grade steel means that Owens can maintain the same original ride quality without having to increase the 4 top ride leaves spring thickness yet when loaded the 3 main lower load springs are what takes the weight, hence the term a 4+3. 

The Spring comes complete with bushes and is made up of 7 leaves in a 4+3 configuration. At the end of the individual leaves are wear plates (like Toyota originals) which prevent the individual leaves wearing against each other during normal use thus prolonging the life of an Owen spring. The spring also comes with high-grade rubber bushes at each end for the eyelets.

The top 4 are the ride springs providing excellent suspension and ride quality when unladen, then when the weight is applied the top springs meet the bottom 3 'load' leaves forming a load carrying spring.

Many cheaper Imported springs will increase the thickness of the top ride springs to compensate for using cheaper poor quality steel, this, in turn, results in a very harsh ride and are susceptible to cracking.

• The springs are painted in a "Transport" paint, as with all suspension components supplied, paint is not covered under warranty due to the very nature and position of the component.

Good practice:

• It is always good practice to replace all springs as a pair so as to even out the loading, if you have one new spring acting with one old then the new spring will be under greater pressure, it could also affect the ride heights between old and new.
• Replacing 'U' bolts too is a good idea, they can be a real pain to undo!

About Owens:
The company is totally committed to quality and this is evident by its accreditation for the manufacture, repair, and supply of all spring types by to BS EN ISO certification, which has been held since 1991, what's more they also hold the ISO9001 certification.

Flying Scotsman:
Manufacturing springs for well over 30 years their experience is second to none, in fact one of their highlights was being the chosen manufacturer to replace one of the broken leaf springs prior to the Flying Scotsman’s inaugural trip and are currently repairing and replacing the spare springs while the famous engine carries out its tour of the country

Fitting Tip:
Tighten all spring retaining bolts and shackles when the vehicle is at normal ride height, this is done once the vehicle is assembly, lowered back to the ground with the weight back on the suspension and bounced a few times, this allows the bushes to settle in and vital for correct final assembly.
