A first connector assembly (10) for connecting a first end (12) of a supplementary tension spring assembly (13) to an axle-mounted leaf spring assembly (14) of a vehicle is disclosed, the tension spring assembly (13) comprising a tension spring (16) defining the first end (12). The first connector assembly (10) comprises a pair of spaced apart substantially L-shaped arms (30,32), each arm comprising a first portion (3OA, 32A) that, in use, is substantially aligned with the leaf spring assembly (14), and a second portion (3OB, 32B) that, in use, extends substantially transversely relative to the leaf spring assembly (14). The first connector assembly (10) further comprises a first spacer element (34) that connects together the first portions (3OA, 32A) of the pair of L-shaped arms (30,32), the first spacer element (34), in use, being arranged to abut against a securing arrangement (22) so as to anchor the first connector assembly (10) behind the securing arrangement (22) relative to the tension spring assembly (13). A second spacer element (36) is provided, which connects together the second portions (3OB, 32B) of the pair of L-shaped arms (30,32). |
