Light weight structures designate the sustainable and suitable mechanical members for vehicle industry with the commercial findings and deposit remarkable materials with unique properties as well as exploring challenges. Composite structures retain the interest in the replacement of steel spring with leaf spring made of polymer composites which in includes the different fibres with proper resin ratio makes it possible to find best platform to perform as vehicle leaf blades serving the purpose of high strength and less weight. This review process clearly reveals about the replacement of steel springs with E-glass and silk hybrid fibers reinforced with epoxy polymer. The samples are prepared with the help of wooden die with the constant width and thickness. Tests to be conducted to assess the mechanical properties and fatigue strength of samples with the help of digital UTM and better proportion of hybrid fibres reinforced with polymers can be suggested.
