Think Spring – Refresh Your Ride with Suspension & Support

Spring is in the air—and if you're noticing more than pollen floating around, it might be time to give your car some extra attention. Just like we get rid of winter clothes and clean out the garage, your car might need some care too, especially when it comes to the springs that help it ride smoothly.

 

Let’s take a look at a few types of car springs, why they matter, and how you can find the parts you need right here at Chancey’s Auto Salvage.

 

Coil Springs

Most cars use coil springs. They help the car handle bumps in the road and make the ride more comfortable.

Tip: If one wears out, replacing both sides is usually a good idea to keep the car balanced.

 

Leaf Springs

Leaf springs are used in trucks and larger vehicles. They help hold heavy loads and steady the car, especially when turning or driving over rough roads.

 

They can wear out over time and need to be replaced, especially if your vehicle does a lot of hauling.

 

Torsion Springs

Torsion springs are found in some front suspensions. Instead of bouncing like other springs, they twist to help support your vehicle. If your car feels uneven or makes noise when turning, it might be time to check your torsion springs.

 

Air Springs

Air springs use air to support the weight of the vehicle. These are found in bigger or luxury vehicles and can be adjusted to change how high or low the car sits. If your ride is leaning or feels rough, the air spring could be the problem.

 

Time to Go on a Parts Hunt

Spring also means it’s time for a good old-fashioned hunt—and not just for Easter eggs. At Chancey’s Auto Salvage, you can hunt for hard-to-find car parts that won’t break your budget.

 

We carry a wide mix of used parts, including all kinds of springs and suspension parts. Whether you're replacing one spring or looking for something else, we’re here to help.

 

Other Parts Worth Checking This Spring;

  • Shocks and struts
  • Control arms
  • Tie rods
  • Bushings
  • Ball joints
  • Brackets and mounts

 

If your car bounces too much, leans to one side, or makes clunking sounds, it might be time for a few replacements.
