Coil spring & leaf springs
The coil springs or the leaf springs are part of the suspension system of the car. The
suspension is mounted on each wheel of the car. When the car drives over a hill
or bump, the shock will be absorbed and reduced by the suspension. This shock
is then converted into a resilient movement. The suspension improves the road
holding of the car, which has a positive effect on safety and driving comfort.
Because of this suspension, you no longer feel every well or bump that you
encounter along the way.
Coil springs or leaf springs broken It often
happens that the coil springs or leaf springs of the car break. These can
break over time. There are a number of symptoms that can be recognized if the
coil springs or leaf springs are broken. The first symptom you may notice is
bumpy rides. When the suspension no longer functions properly, every bump in
the road will be felt in the car. In addition, the car can become difficult to
steer, especially when driving slowly. The suspension at the front of the car
is connected to the steering wheel, making these two parts dependent on each
other to function properly. Another symptom is the car pulling to one side
while driving. The car then always tends to steer in a certain direction.
Check coil springs and leaf springs Does the
car show these symptoms or any of the symptoms? Then it is wise to check the
suspension, you can easily test this. To do this, stop the car and lean your
full weight on the front or back of the car and then release it.
Well-functioning suspension will bring the car back to normal in a smooth
motion without bouncing up and down. Does the car bounce up and down a few more
times? Then it is important to check and replace the shock absorbers and
coil springs or leaf springs.
Replace coil springs and leaf springs Driving without suspension can be extremely
dangerous. The car can hang crooked, which reduces the grip on the road
surface. This will extend the braking distance, increase the risk of
aquaplaning and make the car more susceptible to skidding. You also run the
risk of damage to other car parts.That is why it is important to check and replace a broken coil spring or leaf spring in
good time. The coil springs or leaf springs are car parts that you can
replace yourself. It is wise to replace both springs per axle at the same time.
There is much more tension on new springs. If you don't replace both springs,
there will be too much difference in both springs. There is then a good chance
that the other spring will also break in the short term. Replacing the springs
per axle will ultimately save time and money.
