MAN 85417226033 spring strut

Description

The MAN 85417226033 spring strut is a critical component of a vehicle's suspension system, responsible for dampening shocks and providing a smooth, controlled ride. It is used in the front or rear suspension of commercial vehicles, supporting the vehicle's weight and ensuring stability. This strut combines a coil spring with a shock absorber into a single assembly, improving handling and reducing body roll. Its dimensions are 75 x 75 x 300 mm. The integrated design enhances durability and simplifies installation, providing a reliable and efficient suspension solution.

Key Features & Benefits

Basically, it’s a complete assembly – it combines the shock absorber and the coil spring into one unit. It handles two main jobs. First, it supports the weight of your vehicle. Second, it dampens and absorbs the bumps and vibrations from the road. It does this by controlling how quickly the spring compresses and expands. Think of it as a key part of your suspension system. You’ve got four of these – one at each wheel. They connect the wheels to the vehicle body and keep your tires in contact with the road. They’re pretty fundamental to how your car handles and how comfortable the ride is. It’s a structural component too, helping to keep everything aligned.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, if these wear out, you’ll notice it. You’ll probably feel more of the bumps in the road—it’ll be a rougher ride. Handling becomes less precise, and it can even affect your tire wear, causing them to wear unevenly. It also affects braking, because it impacts how stable the car is. They do wear out over time, especially with mileage and rough roads. Sometimes a leaking strut is obvious, you’ll see oil. You can find replacements pretty easily—Fixparts Online has a good selection, for example—and replacing them in pairs is usually the best way to go to keep things balanced.
