Suspension Springs
for Passenger Cars
- Springs keep the vehicle stable: They keep unevenness of the road surface away from the vehicle. Together with the shock absorbers, they ensure that the wheels stay firmly and safely on the ground. And they prevent the body of the car from swaying too much in bends when accelerating and braking, so that the vehicle does not drift to the side.
- Springs grow old: There comes a time when even the best springs start to become ineffective after compressing millions of times. Rusting and mechanical damage can cause them to break. The consequences are a loss of optimal road contact and swerving of the vehicle in curves.
- Material: All Boge springs are made of high-grade chrome-vanadium or chrome-silicon steel. Depending on the requirements of the automobile industry, they are either hor or cold coiled. Their surface is compressed in a shot blasting plant which considerably prolongs their service life.
