When to replace Ifor Williams leaf springs?
If the trailer is out of level in the back, then the springs will need replacing. To test things, we advise that you push down on the rear of the vehicle, if it goes down easily, then the leaf springs may be bad, if it comes up slowly the shocks will still be ok but you may need to look deeper into the problem. When it comes to trailer springs its important that they are always inspected for cracks and breaks, as well to help avoid any failures of the trailer spring. Cracks tend to appear near the phillister bolt and near the eye of the bolt that will connect your spring to your hanger. Anytime you notice a crack or break in the spring, it's time to replace them.
Can you drive a trailer with a broken Ifor Williams leaf spring?
Technically, you can drive with a broken leaf spring however it’s very unsafe, driving a trailer with a broken leaf spring could render the trailer or vehicle as unstable. There are a number of dangers involved with damaged leaf springs, a trailer will need optimal suspension in order to drive straight when fully loaded and keep its balance across a range of surfaces. Even if you have just one broken spring, this could cause the imbalance of weight along one corner and this added stress could have a hastened effect on the strength of the entire suspension system. This could then cause damaged axles and worn tires as well as losing the trailer balance.

While it is possible, we advise that you don’t as it’s very unsafe, springs don’t stand well in heat and heat causes springs steel to decarbonise and lose strength. It will cause stress and weaken the steel causing your springs to break very easily, the springs construction is directly related to your safety and anyone else who may be in your trailer or vehicle. Springs are part of the suspension which connects the wheels and axle to the vehicle or trailer and it’s a common rule to never do anything that compromises the integrity of the suspension.

When it comes to measuring a trailer leaf spring, we advise that you match the existing spring to its shape and type - double eye, slipper-open eye end, slipper-hook end, slipper-flat end or slipper-radius end, the length and width. Then count the number of leaves, each layer of spring metal is a leaf, measure the length of the spring when the spring isn’t under load, this will be the length of the spring. For the double-eye leaf spring, measure from the centre of the front bushing to the centre of the rear brushing, for open-eye leaf springs, measure from the furthest point inside. Then if you measure from the middle/centre of the front bushing, but make sure that you do this in a straight line to the end of the spring for hook-end springs, flat-end springs and radius-end leaf springs.
