Show Tying in Spring Leaves Will Prevent Spreading Since the leaves In a spring have a tendency to spread apart. It Is often hard to replace the spring tie-bolt In autos or trucks.

The last four leaves are put on crosswise, or spread around like the ribs of an umbrella, which allows the nut to be easily started on the bolt.
