What components are included in this category?

This category covers leaf springs and related suspension hardware for International HX model trucks, including leaf spring assemblies, spring hangers, U-bolts, bushings, shackles, and other mounting accessories used to support and secure the suspension system.

How do I know which leaf spring or hanger fits my International HX?

Fitment depends on your truck's specific configuration, including axle position (front or rear), suspension type, and weight rating. Always check your truck's VIN or existing part numbers before ordering, and reach out to our team if you need help confirming the correct match for your application.

What are common signs that my leaf springs or hangers need to be replaced?

Look for sagging in the truck's ride height, uneven tire wear, cracked or broken leaves, rust or corrosion on hangers, excessive bouncing or vibration while driving, and audible clunking noises over bumps. These symptoms often indicate worn or damaged suspension components that should be inspected and replaced as needed.

Can I install these parts myself, or should I have a professional do it?

Leaf spring and hanger replacement involves heavy components, specialized tools, and precise torque specifications, so this job is typically best handled by an experienced technician or fleet maintenance shop. Improper installation can affect ride height, alignment, and overall vehicle safety.

What materials and finishes are available for leaf springs and hangers?

Most leaf springs are made from heavy-duty steel designed to handle the load requirements of the HX platform, while hangers and brackets are typically cast or steel construction. Finish options may include raw steel, painted, or powder-coated depending on the manufacturer, offering varying levels of corrosion resistance for different operating environments.
