This replacement leaf spring pin helps keep the leaves of a leaf spring pack aligned with the perch to help secure the spring to the axle and to help locate the axle in the direction of travel as the suspension cycles. This pin is a smart choice to prevent damage to the leaf springs within the pack or surrounding components like the U-bolts if the pin has been damaged or if a replacement perch isn't equipped with a pin. Dayton spring pins are designed to help restore a safe state of quiet operation on specified fitments.
