The Leaf Spring in Dodge Dakota vehicles is one of the suspension systems that help the car stands on while it should bear the car and at the same time, it need to damp the harshness of the road by reducing the effects of bumps on a car. This system usually involves the use of a number of arching steel layers which contribute to spreading the load on the chassis hence the capacity to carry loads in a car. A Dodge Dakota may have mono-leaf and multi-leaf style for a given Leaf Spring with the Master Leaf serving significant tasks of axle location. The simplicity and the effectiveness of the Leaf Spring are also its major drawbacks as it enhances a rigid ride due to friction between use layers. It is also important for the Leaf Spring to be checked thoroughly and this is because of the possibility of it wearing out at some point and since it's made of spring it may develop cracks or even breaks and this will require replacement.
