Abstract
A suspension system component for use in association with a leaf spring eye wrap of a leaf spring is shown to include a generally rigid planar base portion and a generally rigid scarf gap cover portion extending from the base portion in a direction generally normal to the base portion. The scarf gap cover portion includes first and second cover portion portions extending in different planes and adjoined at a seam. The component further includes a generally rigid first stop portion formed as a peg-like structure extending from the base portion in the same direction as the scarf gap cover portion. The component also includes a generally rigid second stop portion formed as a curved engagement surface extending from the base portion in that same direction. When installed in a leaf spring eye wrap, the component covers the scarf gap formed by the end of the eye wrap and provides a protective barrier between a sleeveless bushing installed in that eye wrap and the scarf gap for allowing connection of the leaf spring to a pivot point established by a frame hanger mounted on a frame rail.
