If you want to attain the correct riding height of car, then provide it great handling and control. One such significant car component that needs great handling and control is the suspension. It is the suspension that offers smooth ride even on bouncy road. Moreover, car is also prevented from shaking into pieces. But, if you are not feeling comfortable while driving on rough road then your vehicle demands immediate repairing. Suspension of the vehicle comprises of two major components. They are shock absorber and springs. Shock absorber absorbs shock by dampening the vertical motion that has been induced by driving on rough road. On the other hand, springs are available in three types. They are coil springs, leaf springs and torsion bars.
Coil spring is one of the most popular springs. They are also popular as torsion bars. These springs are manufactured using wound heavy-gauge steel wire. Weight of the vehicle is supported by these wires. The location of coil spring is between control arm and chassis, axle and chassis or Macpherson strut. There are various factors that determine the strength of coil springs, such as coil diameter, coil turns, material and height.
