Spring and Top Mount

The coil spring fitted differs with vehicle specification. Each spring is color coded to identify its rating and fitment requirements.

The coil spring is located in a spring seat which is an integral part of the damper body. The design of the spring seat prevents the spring rotating. The opposite end of the coil spring is located in a spring isolator which is fitted in the top mount. The spring isolator is made from rubber and prevents any noise produced during damper and spring compression/extension from being transmitted to the vehicle body.

The top mount is fitted with a bush and rebound washer which are located between the top mount plate and the damper rod, a self locking nut secures the damper rod to the top mount. The top mount attaches to a housing on the chassis with 3 integral studs and self-locking nuts.

The spring is fitted with spring spacers which are located between the spring isolator and the top mount. The spring spacers control the length of the spring to maintain the correct trim height. The spring spacers are color coded and are supplied with a replacement spring.
