Quick-Strut Specialized Springs

Challenge:

Other Manufacturers Commonly Avoid Specialized Springs in Replacement Assemblies

Cost-saving measure may result in poor ride, unhappy motorists

Many aftermarket manufacturers avoid the use of side-load springs due to high costs and complex assembly challenges. Side-load springs are manufactured with a unique, “banana-like” shape that counteracts the forces applied to the side of the strut rod by the wheel assembly. These springs are included on many of today’s vehicles to help increase durability, reduce noise, and improve steering effort and comfort. If not matching the OE design, this cost-cutting measure may result in:

• Increased ride harshness
• Increased steering efforts
• Premature strut, bearing & mount failure
• Increased noise & vibration
• Increased driver fatigue
