Coil Springs are vital to vehicles support the weight of your car

Coil Spring are vital to vehicles because they support the weight of your car and allow it to remain stable even in rough driving conditions. They have the ability to expand when you hit dips on the road and compress when you encounter bumps or cut into hard corners. A certain kind of spring, called air spring, can also keep your trunk off of the ground and determine ride height, which in turn influences steering and suspension.
There are different types of springs for each kind of automobile and truck depending on your vehicle's suspension design, but the the most common is the coil spring. A coil spring (also called helical spring) is a kind of torsion spring which can store energy and release it later when needed. It can also absorb shock and maintain the force between two contacting surfaces.
Together with a shock absorber, coil spring are pre-assembled as one coil over unit before installation. While the coil spring compresses and stretches to keep you safe as you drive, the shock absorber keeps you from road noise, bumps, and vibrations that you might encounter while doing so. All in all, a coil over is essential in your vehicle's suspension because it gives you optimal damping, good handling and braking, and a comfortable ride all at the same time

Make Small Coil Springs the Nut

 Procure a nut, having a small thread that will admit the size of the wire to be used in making the spring. Cut a small notch to the depth of the thread where the thread starts, and procure a smooth rod that will pass snugly through the threads of the nut. Shape one end of the rod to fit a carpenter's brace, if there is no drill chuck at hand, and drill a hole in the other end to admit one end of the spring wire.
The Threads in the Nut Will Guide as Well as Coil  Spring Evenly

Bend the wire at right angles and insert the end in the hole. Place the end of the rod in the nut, which should be gripped in a vise, and turn the rod, at the same time seeing that the wire is guided into the notch cut at the start of the thread. The wire will follow the thread of the nut and make a perfect spring of an even opening throughout its length. Closed or open coils can be made by using a nut having the proper number of threads. -

Coil Spring Traps Assembly and what do they do?

Coil Spring Assemblies and what do they do?
coil spring assemblies come as all-in-one units that you can use to easily replace your worn out struts and springs. Suspension struts act as a shock absorber while being able to support sideways weight not on its axis of compression. The coil spring allows for contact between two or more surfaces. The compression spring absorbs force or any other type of pressure in order to prevent any type of collapse within the car. These parts are vital parts of your suspension system.

Coil springs can be specifically tailored to applications

Compression springs are typically manufactured from round wire and in a cylindrical shape. However square, rectangular, and other non- round cross section wire can be utilized, and springs can be shaped in barrel, conical, hourglass, or other profiles.
compression springs can be specifically tailored to applications that have, for instance, solid height restrictions or dynamic resonance conditions that need to be addressed.
Spacing between coils ( pitch ) can also be varied to provide different spring rates throughout the operating range of the spring.
Because of the number of compression spring characteristics that can be tailored to specific circumstances, this type of Coil spring represents
