Product Description

The Old Man Emu CS012FA front leaf spring is a purpose-built Dakar-series suspension upgrade designed for 1986 through 1995 Suzuki Samurai 4WD models. This front leaf spring combines a draw-tapered, diamond-cut leaf design with bolted clamps and re-greasable interleaf pads to deliver a smoother ride, improved load handling, and enhanced durability compared to worn or stock springs. The fully scragged leaves and shot-peened tension sides minimize spring sag and internal stress for longer service life.

With a modest increase in ride height of approximately 1.25 in over stock, the CS012FA helps provide additional clearance and support for moderate loads and off-road use while maintaining predictable handling. The flat axle seat design offers a secure mounting surface that reduces stress on the chassis and axle, making this spring a strong choice for Samurai owners restoring suspension performance or preparing their vehicle for light-to-moderate off-road adventures. Bushings and installation hardware are not included; professional alignment after installation is recommended for optimal performance.
