These little guys basically sit between the coil spring on your car and the top mount of the strut assembly. They have a couple of jobs. First, they reduce noise and vibration – think of them as cushions. They absorb a lot of the harshness from the road and keep it from transferring directly into the cabin of the car. They also help center the spring on the strut, keeping everything aligned properly. Some even have a little bit of give to help with movement, and help prevent metal – on – metal contact. It’s a small part, but it’s a really important one in the overall suspension system. When your wheel goes up and down over bumps, the spring compresses and expands. The spring seat takes a lot of the impact and keeps things running smoothly. It's part of what lets your suspension actually suspend things. It bridges the gap and makes sure that force is managed. If these wear out, you’ll notice a few things. You’ll probably hear more road noise, maybe a clunking sound when you go over bumps. The ride will become harsher and less comfortable. More importantly, if it completely fails, the spring isn't held securely and can move around. That can damage other parts of the suspension, and that’s something you really want to avoid. It’s not a part you want to put off replacing. You can find them pretty easily online, places like Fixparts Online carry a good range, and they're generally pretty straightforward to replace when you’re doing other work on the struts.
