Replace a Spare part Spring kit – a defective one or if the limit of use has been already reached. Find out useful information about Spring kit
A suspension spring kit is a set of elastic parts that maintain a certain distance between the car body and the road.
Contents
Kits can contain a different number of parts:
two – in order to be installed on one axle;
four – in order to be installed on both axles.
Functions
The suspension springs maintain vehicle clearance, which stops the body tilting to one side when driving on uneven roads or when transporting goods. They also - in combination with the shock absorbers - absorb vibrations transmitted to the body.
Common problems with suspension springs
Suspension springs are subjected to significant compression and tension stress and therefore, can become faulty. The most common malfunctions are:
Loss of elasticity. If a vehicle is often driven off-road or transports heavy loads, the springs will lose their elasticity and eventually deteriorate. This results in them not performing their functions properly. Clearance of the vehicle reduces significantly - usually only on one side.
Corrosion damage. The springs are often hit with stones thrown up by the wheels. This can result in chips appearing on the protective coating, which allows moisture to penetrate the part. If this happens, corrosion spots appear on the springs which accelerates the wear. Corrosion spots can be seen during a routine vehicle inspection.
