Tinmy stores stock a wide range of springs to suit most popular vehicles

The primary function of springs, wether they be Leaf, Coil spring or Torsion Bar, is to absorb the shocks that are created when driving over irregular road surfaces and maintain correct downward pressure on the road for optimum tyre/road surface contact.
The spring rate or stiffness must be matched to the weight of the car and the weight of the other suspension components. The handling of most vehicles is substantially improved by increasing the original spring rate to an optimum rate which maximises tyre adhesion while reducing body roll. All Tinmy stores stock a wide range of springs to suit most popular vehicles. Your Tinmy service technician can advise you on the replacement of original equipment and show you which springs will enhance your suspension system to level beyond manufacturers original standards.

Coil Spring are the foundations of the modern suspension system with most car manufacturers preferring Coil Springs due to their advantages of weight, tunability, space and ease of manufacture. Tinmy research, design and manufacture their own range of Coil Springs from their own World-Class Manufacturing Plant in Victoria, Australia to QS9001 standards. Coil Spring design and manufacturing is a craft which requires strict adherance to a demanding series of procedures, all of which are critical to the performance of the final product. Tinmy undertakes the following key steps in relation to its Coil Spring Manufacturing Process.

• Hot coiling

Tinmy Coil Spring Manufacturing Plant, holds ISO14001 Environmental Certification, an international standard which aims to support environmental protection and prevention of pollution in balance with socio-economic needs.
Quality springs for lowering your car or creating stronger suspension
Car springs absorb the shocks that are created when driving over uneven road surfaces. They also maintain downward pressure on the road for optimum tyre/road surface contact. Don’t bounce around in your car and cause more damage to your chassis or suspension - to ensure that your springs are always at optimum level, get your parts checked out at Tinmy.
Enhance your suspension system with Tinmy springs
We offer rear leaf springs, parabolic springs, coil springs, King Springs suspension, and torsion bars for all types of vehicles, such as Toyota HiLux and other heavy duty utility cars.

Coil Spring that offers resistance to a compressive force applied axially

A Compression Spring is an open-coil helical spring that offers resistance to a compressive force applied axially. They may be cylindrical, conical, barrel shaped, or concave in form. There are four different end types for a compression spring; the most common being closed and ground. Other end types include closed only, open only, and open and ground.

Tinmy Coil Spring Works Inc. specializes in the design and manufacture of custom compression springs of all sizes and types. We are capable of working with a wide range of wire sizes from 0.008” and up. Our vast array of in-stock materials includes stainless steel, music wire, chrome silicon, hard drawn, and oil tempered wire, allowing for quick lead times. Tinmy Coil Spring Works Inc. also manufactures custom compression springs out of a variety of specialty wires including Inconel, Elgiloy, Hastelloy, Titanium, Chrome Vanadium, Monel, Beryllium Copper, Phosphor Bronze, and Copper to meet our customers’ specifications.

At Tinmy Coil Spring Works Inc., we pride ourselves in turning our customers’ concepts into reality: If you can think it, we can do it!

Front Coil Spring Symptoms of Wear or Failure Advice

Front Coil Spring
The coil spring supports the weight of the vehicle and maintains the vehicle ride height on the axle where they are mounted. It also allows the suspension system to move up and down to adapt to changing road conditions.

Symptoms of Wear or Failure

Suspension may make a knocking noise when going over bumps
Vehicle ride height is low
Related Repair Advice

Front coil springs should always be replaced as a set
Replacing the coil spring may affect the alignment's settings. We recommend a four-wheel alignment when the coil springs are replaced.
Extreme caution should be used when removing a coil spring compressed by the vehicle's suspension. They are under a great deal of pressure and can cause injury if not removed in the proper manner.

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
Ill: 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
