Springs basically absorb impacts from the road. Think of it like this – every time your tire hits a bump, the spring compresses to soften the blow. They support the weight of your vehicle, and keep the tires in contact with the road as much as possible. Different types do this in different ways – you’ve got coil springs, leaf springs, torsion bars, all doing roughly the same job but with different designs. It’s a pretty crucial part of the suspension system. The suspension isn’t just about ride comfort, though that's a big part of it. It keeps your tires planted, which is essential for steering and braking. A spring works alongside the shock absorbers – the spring absorbs the initial impact, and the shock controls the spring’s rebound, preventing the vehicle from bouncing excessively. It’s a team effort. Without good springs, your ride will be rough, obviously. But more importantly, your handling and control will suffer. You’ll notice if your springs are going bad because your vehicle might start to feel unstable, especially over bumps or when cornering. It can also affect your tire wear. If a spring breaks or weakens significantly, it's a safety issue. You can find replacements pretty easily – we stock a lot of options at Fixparts Online, and you can usually get a good quality spring for a reasonable price. Ignoring worn springs can lead to more expensive repairs down the road, too, like damage to shocks, struts, or even the chassis.
