FAQs
What material is the Body Mounting Bracket Spring made from?
The spring is manufactured from high-strength steel.
What is the purpose of the red powder coating?
The red powder coating provides a durable finish that protects the steel from rust and corrosion, extending its lifespan.
Can this spring be used on any truck or trailer?
It is designed for universal application on trucks and trailers, specifically for the first and second mounting brackets behind the cab. Always check the dimensions for compatibility with your specific vehicle.
Does the spring come with any additional parts?
Yes, it comes complete with a washer required for installation.
How do I ensure the spring is installed correctly?
The spring must be tightened and compressed in length during installation to create tension. This often requires specialized tools.
What are the main dimensions of the spring?
The total length is 77mm, the external spring diameter is 39mm, and the internal spring diameter is 21.5mm.
Is this product suitable for DIY or professional use?
The product is described as suitable for commercial or individual use, implying it can be used by professionals or experienced individuals.
Troubleshooting
Spring does not seem to provide enough tension after installation.
Ensure the spring was fully compressed and tightened during installation. Verify that the correct mounting points were used and that no debris is preventing proper seating. Check if the correct washer is in place.
Visible signs of rust or corrosion on the spring.
While the powder coating offers resistance, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions can cause damage. Inspect the coating for chips or scratches. Minor surface rust can be cleaned, and for significantly damaged areas, consider replacement to maintain structural integrity.
Difficulty in compressing the spring during installation.
This is an expected characteristic of the installation process. Use appropriate heavy-duty tools, such as a vice or hydraulic press, designed for compressing springs during mounting. Consult vehicle-specific repair manuals if unsure.
Spring breaks or fails under load.
This indicates a potential defect or that the spring has been subjected to loads exceeding its design capacity. Inspect for prior damage. If the spring is new and failed under normal operating conditions, contact the supplier for a potential warranty claim.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
Identify the first and second mounting brackets on the chassis, located behind the vehicle's cab.
Position the body mounting bracket spring with its accompanying washer onto the designated bracket.
Crucially, the spring must be tightened and compressed during installation to achieve the necessary tension. This may require specialized tools or a hydraulic press depending on the specific vehicle and mounting setup.
Compatibility:
This spring is designed for trucks and trailers.
It is intended for use on the first and second mounting brackets on each side of the chassis, directly behind the cab.
Always verify that the dimensions (Total length – 77mm, External diameter – 39mm, Internal diameter – 21.5mm) are compatible with your specific mounting hardware and chassis design.
Care:
The red powder-coated finish offers good corrosion resistance. Periodically inspect the spring for any signs of damage to the coating.
Clean the area around the mounting bracket and spring with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the coating.
Ensure the spring remains properly compressed and secured. Re-tighten if any looseness is detected.
