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.
