What is an Automotive
Coil Spring?
A Coil spring, also known as a helical spring, is a mechanical
device, which is typically used to store energy and subsequently
release it, to absorb shock, or to maintain a force between contacting
surfaces. They are made of an elastic material formed into the
shape of a helix which returns to its natural length when unloaded.
Coil springs are a special type of
torsion spring, the material of the spring acts in torsion when
the spring is compressed or extended.
The two usual types of automotive coil
springs are:
-
Tension coil springs which are
designed to resist stretching. They usually
have a hook or eye form at each end for
attachment.
- Compression coil springs are designed
to resist being compressed. A typical
use for compression coil springs is in
automotive suspension systems.
Metal coil springs are made by winding
a wire around a shaped former - a cylinder
is used to form cylindrical coil springs.
Many types of automotive coil springs are wound in an annealed
(soft) condition and then tempered
to achieve their strength as a spring. Over time,
this tempering can be lost and the
spring will sag because it can no longer
withstand the loads applied.
Most coil springs fail due to constant overloading, excessive
up and down movement or just a general
breakdown due to metal fatigue. Springs
can also corrode and rust. How do you
know if you have a suspension problem? You’ll
probably feel it if a spring fails,
your ride will become hard and jarring. Failed shocks may result
in excessive “bouncing” or
up and down movement of your car’s front or back end. It
may also become harder to steer, and
could feel like your vehicle is pulling
to the left or right.
It’s recommended you have your suspension system checked
every 12,000 miles or 12 months.
