Auxiliary springs

When the car is heavily loaded, it can sink due to its springs. This can have a significant impact on driving comfort on a bad road surface and at speed bumps. In addition, the car with sagging springs will steer less well and feel less stable for the driver. Auxiliary suspension is placed next to or in the original suspension of the car in order to strengthen the suspension. The car will bounce less quickly with a heavy load.

Advantages auxiliary suspension

Auxiliary suspension brings many advantages. An advantage of auxiliary suspension is that the car remains stable and comfortable to steer. This allows the driver to maintain good control over the car. This control is not only pleasant while driving, but is also very important for your safety. Another advantage of auxiliary springs is that they prevent premature wear on the wheel suspension. Sagging or overloaded suspension will wear out much faster over the long haul. In addition, a low-slung car can quickly come into contact with a threshold or even with the road surface. You may be able to imagine the damage this can cause to the car's bodywork or towbar. Auxiliary suspension therefore offers good protection for you and the car when you are on the road with a heavy load. You also do not have to disassemble the auxiliary springs when the car is not carrying any weight. This suspension hardly affects the car when it is not loaded.

Install auxiliary springs

Installing the auxiliary springs is a simple job that you can do yourself. However, some technical insight is required to mount the suspension correctly. This job will take approximately 30 minutes to 1.5 hours of your time. For this you can observe the following steps:

1. Place the car on a car jack and jack it up. The suspension of the car will now stretch, making room for the auxiliary spring. In addition, use axle stands so that the car is stable. Without axle stands you run the risk that the car is unstable and can tip over.

2. Thread the auxiliary spring through the original suspension.

3. You can secure the auxiliary spring in the wheel suspension with the accompanying dishes.

4. You can now lower the car again.

In some cases, the shock absorber will have to be partially disassembled to get enough space in the suspension. Would you rather leave the job to the garage? Then make sure you order the parts online and deliver them yourself. This way you are often a lot cheaper!

Auxiliary springs

Auxiliary springs are the ideal application for your car when you go on holiday with a heavy load. Think, for example, of driving a caravan, bike racks or roof box. The original suspension of the car is usually not designed for transporting heavy weight. It is often seen that heavily loaded cars hang on the back of their wheels. An auxiliary spring can provide the solution. These auxiliary springs are placed next to or in the original suspension and thus ensure that the car sags less when heavily loaded. At Winparts you will find auxiliary springs from the top brands MAD and H&R. Simply enter your car model on the website and the correct parts will be displayed.
