Mono (single) leaf springs consist of one plate of spring steel. Usually the spring is tapered and is thick in the middle and tappers out thinner to the ends.

Worn or sagging springs - Weak springs lower the chassis height of a vehicle, resulting in premature tire wear and poor handling characteristics. Sagging when loaded - Vehicles used for family transportation, RV's, works trucks, or sales fleets can benefit from upgrading to heavier duty leaf springs. Broken original springs - Certain vehicles have been known to have a very high faliure rate of broken springs.

There is no standard life expectancy for leaf springs. In general, leaf springs on smaller lighter weight vehicles tend to last longer then leaf springs on heavier full-sized vehicles applications.

The most common method of leaf spring inspection is checking the vehicle ride height. Measure! Don't rely on eyesight alone! This method will only catch the extreme cases of spring sag or leaning. In addition to checking ride height, look for these signs, which also indicate the leaf spring requires attention: Vehicle that commonly carry extra weight, resulting in unlevel condition most of the time (family transportation, work trucks, and sales fleets).

Leaf tissue analysis is a tool that has been used for years in production agriculture. It involves sending samples from the foliage of your roses to our lab. Lab analysis of this foliage combined with a soil test enables us to more accurately identify problems with plant nutrition and fine tune fertilizer recommendations for your specific plants.

The lower leaf that is yellowing on this plant is part of a normal process, not a problem developing. If only the bottom leaf or two is turning yellow, and the plant otherwise appears healthy and is growing new leaves, chances are that it is only the normal senescence (dying) of the lower leaves. They have served their function and are giving up any translocatable nutrients to the rest of the plant.
