Abstract:
In recent years, a clear trend has developed towards increasing the strength of vehicle suspension springs by the greater utilization of the properties of materials. This
trend evolved from the desire to save weight. A compact version of a spring with high load capacity is the barrel spring /1/, which like all other vehicle suspension springs
is shot peened in order to increase its operating life. BMW uses a barrel spring of this type on the rear suspension of its 3 series cars illustrates the final assembly.
