OEM Honda & Acura Coil Springs

What are Coil Springs on a Car?

They're part of its suspension, along with bushings, sway bar links, and shocks and struts. For this reason, they're also referred to as suspensions springs. What they do is fourfold.

For one, they support the weight of your vehicle. Secondly, they help keep it off the ground. Thirdly, they help maintain the right alignment angles. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, they compress to absorb impact when your wheels and tires cross uneven terrain, like bumps and potholes. The results: more reliable handling and a smoother ride.

How Can I Tell if My Coil Springs are Bad?

Look for the following signs and symptoms:

• Your vehicle sagging and swaying
• Tire wear
• Undercarriage noise
• Abnormal bouncing

Unfortunately, there's no specific timeframe for when you should replace coil springs. The best way to figure out when you need to is to inspect your vehicle's suspension system regularly to see if its springs are worn out. And the best way to do that: lift your vehicle on a hoist.

You can obviously change a coil spring when it just plain becomes too weak, but you should also do it if it's rusted or cracked from prolonged exposure to moisture or road salt. The best replacements are genuine OEM. After all, coil springs made by Honda or Acura will come guaranteed to fit your make and model. You can buy what you need online from our auto parts store.
