How to choose springs

Resora- this is an important element of the car suspension. Its main function is uniform load distribution. To make the right choice, it is important to study the differences and characteristics of the spare part.

Springs are classified into the following types:

• leafy;
• torsional;
• cylindrical

It is used for SUVsleaf type. They are made of steel, due to this they absorb shocks well. On the page of our store, a large assortment of these elements for SUVs of various models is presented.

Three companies can be distinguished among the manufacturers:REEF, Terrain Tamer and Old Man Emu. They are located in Australia and specialize in manufacturing suspension components. It is difficult to choose the best of them, since both are popular among customers.Buy OME springsand RIF springsthere is an opportunity on our website.

Functionality

Springsdesigned for heavy weight, so it is more often used for trucks and SUVs. This part is attached to the rear axle of the car. It smooths out any irregularities, distributes weight and ensures a comfortable ride.

The trailer can also be equipped with a spring, as it is intended for the transportation of bulky goods.

The element is connected metal plates. Its use makes it possible to completely abandon the use of various rods, levers, bushings and similar elements of the shock absorber suspension.

Which are better

It is recommended to approach the choice of the part responsibly, because its functionality will depend only on its quality and parameters. It is important to choose the right size of sheets. If your vehicle is heavy, look for higher test load ratings. You also need to understand that the risk may not justify itself. Based on this, it is better to buy an original mechanism, but it is more expensive than a non-original one, which will soon have to be replaced.

The main differences

The choice of this suspension component is influenced not only by the brand of the vehicle, but also by the characteristics of the selected spring. Whether it is an SUV or a passenger car, not every spring is suitable for functionality. In addition, it is better to install a spring mechanism on small vehicles.

The following characteristics are important:

• package thickness;
• control load;
• dimensions;
• rigidity.

The thickness of the packagecharacterized by the difference in the number of sheets, which are measured in mm. In order to provide additional elasticity, each sheet has a different degree of bending.

Control load- is an indicator of the maximum lifting weight, it is measured in kilograms.

Dimensionsdepend on the specific model of the car, this is the indicator of the spring base in mm.

Rigiditydetermines the weight with which the car will be able to move. If the stiffness index is too high, it will be difficult to drive the vehicle at high speeds.

To find out which spring is suitable for purchase, it is better to study the documentation of your car. Manufacturers recommend using only those parts that are intended for a specific car.

Advantages

If a high-quality suspension is installed, the car becomes more stable while driving and freely absorbs bumps.

The following features of the springs can be distinguished:

• light construction;
• good carrying capacity;
• slow down oscillations in turns;
• compact;
• increase clearance.

Among the shortcomings, only the rate of wear can be singled out.
