Abstract: An assembly which includes a fastener assembly that clamps together two or more clamped components between clamping structures of the fastener assembly. One of the clamped components that the fastener assembly clamps together with the other clamped components is a clamp-force-check component that defines a fastener hole through itself. The clamp-force-check component is disposed adjacent one of the clamping structures of the fastener assembly. A fastener shaft of the fastener assembly extends through the fastener hole defined through the clamp-force-check component. The clamp-force-check component has an outer perimeter of such a shape that a wrench may engage the outer perimeter of the clamp-force-check component and apply a torque thereto.

Abstract: The closed joint leaf spring mounting assembly for a mobile vehicle with a body and at least two axles may have a suspension bracket configured to be permanently fixed upon an axle housing for enclosing one of the axles and to include a plurality of vertical throughbores therein, a leaf spring having conformed surface to be congruous with areas of the suspension bracket including the throughbores, and including vertical throughbores therein which align with and form a continuation of the throughbores in the bracket, and a plurality of connectors, such as cap screws, for engagement within the aligned throughbores of the spring end and bracket for securing the structures together.
