The springs are one of the most important elements of a car damper. Such an item like the damper spring blade is changed quite often by car owners, because they ensure the safety of driving. This happens due to the fact that the spring looses on stiffness, and therefore it must be replaced. If you do not replace the item, the stretched spring can adversely affect the car behavior. You should keep an eye on this spare part, as well as on other parts of the vehicle. The service life of a spring is quite long, and with proper care, this period increases. Repair of damaged springs on new cars is practically excluded, it is better to order a new spare part.

The car spring represents a type of springs, consisting of one or several plates, which are made of hardened steel in various lengths. They are connected with clamps, which operate in a bending mode. In order to reduce the mass of modern springs, they are made of nonmetallic materials. Regarding their design, they are usually mounted on the platform in the middle of the car, and their ends are fixed to the body. The main function of the springs is to absorb the shocks when driving off road or on bad roads. It should be noted that the suspension of modern vehicles do not include springs.

The main malfunctions that occur at car springs are the breaking of plates, the loss of elasticity of sheets or subsidence, deterioration of spring bolts, bushings, brackets, anti-squeak discs, as well as cut off of the spring center bolt. As already mentioned above, when a spring breaks, the car owner should rather order a new original spare part, than trying to fix the old one on his own or in a car workshop.
