An aircraft landing gear assembly (50, 80) comprising: a first landing gear element (60) movably coupled relative to a second landing gear element (62) to pivot about a pivot axis (PA) between a first condition and a second condition; a cam surface (74) defined by the second landing gear element; and a leaf spring having a first end region and a second end region, the first end region of the leaf spring being coupled to the first landing gear element to move with the first landing gear element and the second end region of the leaf spring comprising a cam follower (72) arranged in moving contact with the cam surface such that the cam follower moves from a first region (R1) of the cam surface to a third region (R3) of the cam surface via a second region (R2) of the cam surface as the first landing gear element pivots about the pivot axis between the first condition and the second condition, wherein the cam surface is shaped such that a distance (RO) between the pivot axis and the cam surface increases between the first region and the second region to define a first gradient and the distance between the pivot axis and the cam surface varies between the second region and the third region of the cam surface to define a second gradient, the second gradient being less steep than the first gradient.
