- Coil Springs
-
- Some suspension
- systems include
- compression coil
- springs mounted
- between the lower
- control arm and a
- spring housing or
- spring "seat" in
- the frame. In
- other designs, coil
- springs are mounted
- above the upper
- control arms, and
- are compressed
- between a pivoting
- spring seat bolted
- to the control arm
- and a spring tower
- formed from sheet
- metal just inside
- the wheel well.
-
- When coil springs
- are used in rear
- suspension, control
- arms are used
- between the rear
- axle housing and
- the frame to carry
- driving and braking
- torque. Coil
- springs are often
- mounted between the
- lower control arm
- and a spring seat
- in frame or
- chassis.
