02J311387B Volkswagen spring was

These washers aren't just flat pieces of metal. They're split or have a wave – like design, so they actually provide a little bit of springiness. That spring action creates tension between the parts they’re used with—things like bolts, nuts, and other fasteners. It's kind of like having a little built – in tension constantly keeping things snug. They distribute load more evenly than a regular flat washer, too. You’ll find these all over a vehicle, but particularly in the drivetrain – around the gearbox and things like that. Anywhere there’s vibration or a tendency for things to loosen up. They’re used with bolts that hold parts together, particularly where things are constantly moving or being stressed. A lot of times, you’ll see them used with things like driveshaft flanges or gearbox mounting bolts. They’re important because they help prevent fasteners from backing out due to vibration. Think of it like this: vibration is constantly trying to undo what you’ve tightened. The spring washer acts like a shield, maintaining pressure and keeping that bolt or nut from loosening over time. You’ll notice if one fails—things start rattling, you might get leaks, or things could even fall apart. It’s a small part, but a really critical one for maintaining the integrity of the drivetrain and preventing bigger problems down the line. You can often find the right size and type at places like Fixparts Online if you’re looking to replace one. It's better to replace a worn or missing spring washer than risk a bigger issue.
