Fulvia front Leaf Spring
Fulvia Leaf Spring.
Leaf springs on a Fulvia has liners in between leaves and also lubrication.
I was changing the Rubber bumper on the end anyway and So I decided to clean out Spring replace liners and regrease.
I don’t have any sagging issues otherwise. This is what my spring measured as with no load:
I do not know what material was used for liners before, I measured 0.7mm in thickness. I opted to get a sheet of PTFE at 1mm thickness.
PTFE cuts very easily using a Sharp knife and straight edge . Note The old black liner in photo. I could only find White PTFE in stock. Black would be preferable.
Remember to cut out hole where inner bolt and Spacer is mounted.
I used thicker NGLI 3 grease for in between metal and plastic.
The TOP inner NUT has to have a spacer so that second leaf can slide on bottom one.
