spring leaf
Fresh green growth
A spring leaf is one of the curved metal strips that form a leaf spring—a type of vehicle suspension made of layered steel plates bolted together.
The leaves flex under load, absorbing shocks from the road.
Trucks and older cars commonly use leaf springs: The mechanic replaced a cracked spring leaf on the rear axle.
