TORSION TESTS ON FRONT SPRINGS.

Y-AXIS: ANGLE OF ROTATION
X-AXIS: TORQUE IN 1000 LBS - IN.

DATA POINTS: O4, A4, B4, B3, A3, D3

LEGEND:
A = FIRTH'S SPRING 1100 LBS TOTAL LENGTH 43.5 INS
B = WOODHEADS EQUAL SPRING 1100 LBS TOTAL LENGTH 42.000 INS
D = " SPECIAL " " 43.500 INS

THIS SPRING HAS FOUR REBOUND LEAVES & CLIPS
