These springs are pretty simple, actually. They cushion and support the AC condenser. They allow for some give and absorb vibrations from the road and engine. It’s like little shock absorbers for your AC system. They keep the condenser from getting banged around and damaged. Basically, it protects a pretty expensive component. The condenser is delicate; it needs to be able to handle the bumps and stress of driving without cracking or getting bent. The coil springs sit underneath it, acting like a shield between the condenser and the frame of the vehicle. They also help keep the condenser properly aligned so the airflow isn’t blocked. You’ll notice if these go bad. If they break or get really weak, the condenser starts rattling around. That rattle can eventually cause damage to the condenser itself, leading to a leaky AC system and a big repair bill. More immediately, that rattling can also damage the lines connected to the condenser. Replacing these springs is a lot cheaper and easier than dealing with a damaged condenser or AC lines. You can find replacements pretty easily; Fixparts Online carries a good selection. It’s one of those small parts that can save you a headache down the road.
