Spring Clamps Dakar’s

Any one have any recommendations for a good leaf spring clamp ? I’m getting what I think is some axle wrap when accelerating from a stop . Only occasionally if I take off a little fast . It also might be the drive shaft shuddering but I’m not sure ,I have the CB drop shim in already . I would really like to get a Tom Woods one piece drive shaft but that will be my last resort Thanks

Guess this is a dumb question

 

Leaf spring clamp?

 

Yes . I know it’s something simple but something from hardened steel would be best I’m guessing

 

Are you wanting to clamp the springs right? If so they will cause the issue of the leafs flexing as they are supposed to.

 

Yes ,I’ve found some axle wrap info online and by adding a spring Clamp in front of the U bolt It’s supposed to help https://youtu.be/My6lv_nG5M0

 

So I’m the video it shows the clamp around the overload leaf imo that will ride like piss, you basically have take away the ability for then leaf pack to flex since it’s fixed to the overload leaf and flattened out the leaf pack. The second option looks like it clamps the leafs together but not to the overload leaf which is imo the better option. Now if the vibration is coming from the driveline then the clamps will make no difference more than likely.

 

Correct . For all I know it could be a shudder from the drive shaft . My best option is probably just get a one piece drive shaft
