Abstract:  
This bulletin was printed with permission of Dayton Parts. OEM Quality For many years, every major OEM manufacturer has specified shot peening of all leaves on their passenger car and truck springs. Very simply, if your spring supplier does not shot peen their springs or shot peens only the first two or three leaves, their springs are not up to OEM quality standards.
