TRW coil springs programme

To complement its shock absorber programme, TRW has introduced a range of matching OE quality coil springs.

Coil springs - the basics:

Fitted to the top of the shock absorber, coil springs store energy
Coil springs support the weight of the car and are a safety critical component
Worn coil springs prevent vehicle from absorbing shock of bumps on the road – affecting suspension and braking performance

TRW coil springs explained:

Matching OE specification
Utilise tapered wire and constant wire. Tapered wire technique is being used more frequently by VMs today as it combines progressive spring rate, adapting to the weight of the vehicle
Range of 899 references providing optimum car coverage for Europe
Use same colour codes as VMs to minimise error in locating the correct coil spring
Clear labelling indicating the fitment position actually on the coil spring itself

TRW’s Roman Rotter commented: “We advocate coil springs, along with shock absorbers, should be checked as part of a vehicle’s service interval, every 20,000 km, and replaced every 100,000 km.”
