Springs

Pedders Suspension – Australia’s number 1 shock absorber steering and suspension specialist manufactures its own range of Pedders Brand Springs at our head office location in Keysborough Victoria Australia. The Pedders range of springs offers Quality without Compromise. Pedders Springs are made from premium quality grade steel, are stress relieved, 100% quality inspected, loaded height and rate tested as well as being powder-coated for longevity.

Coil Springs

The primary function of springs, whether they be Leaf, Coil or Torsion Bars, is to carry the load of the sprung weight and to absorb impacts created by the wheel when traveling over undulating or rough terrain. The spring rate or stiffness is to be matched to the weight of the vehicle resting on them in addition to other steering and suspension components.

TrakRyder coils are heavy-duty units that provide the precise rate needed to carry the mass of heavy 4WD vehicle bodies and wheel assemblies. TrakRyder coils are made at Pedders’ hi-tech spring manufacturing facility in Melbourne, Australia, from the highest quality spring steel and are produced according to a strictly controlled design.

The manufacturing and testing process ensures Pedders coils exceed original tolerances and are equal to or exceed the best in the world in consistency of rate, loaded height, and reliability.

Standard height and raised height coils for extra ground clearance are available for most 4WD vehicles and higher rated coils can be used to compensate for the extra weight of a bull bar, winch, rear step, or to improve a vehicle’s load carrying or towing ability.

Leaf Springs

For most dual cab vehicles on our roads today, ride comfort vs. load carrying capacity is always a compromise. By today’s standards, we are experiencing more consumers requesting a better ride characteristic from their load carrying dual cab utes. The general expectation is that they want more of a sedan style ride from their vehicle.

Through innovative design, Pedders have developed leaf springs in conjunction specially valved Foam Cell Shocks to achieve the best of both worlds, being the ability to improve ride quality and vehicle load carrying capabilities. Because the modern dual cab utilities are used as both a work horse and a family vehicle, the spring design has a requirement to fulfil dual roles. Pedders have a product to deliver an outcome that will be pleasing to the consumer.

Torsion Bars

Like Pedders’ coil springs, TrakRyder torsion bars are made from the highest quality alloy spring steel and are manufactured according to strict quality production procedures. TrakRyder torsion bars are fully tempered (heat treated) for high durability, hardness, and long term consistency. The ends (splined area) of the torsion bars are forged (shaped) to produce a stronger structure that assists in longer product life.

TrakRyder torsion bars are made to a larger diameter than most original bars, providing a firmer rate for greater control and improved load-carrying ability. Heavy-duty replacement units provide a permanent upgrade for the front suspension. Whether your vehicle is in standard form or has been fitted with a bull bar, winch, dual battery system or any other heavy accessory, TrakRyder torsion bars provide extra control, stability, and traction for enhanced performance.
