Hello to each other,
I worked at Ford in quality control until the 70's. The individual leaf springs for rear axles were phosphated to better glide. After that they were "gebondert" bound several different layers. In addition, to enable life-long sliding lubrication and to prevent corrosion.
Thin nylon inserts had the main purpose of not squeaking.
(I coated the new spring leafes with anti friction paint.)
