“…Just like shock absorbers, the valving generates resistance to forces created by the up and down motion of the suspension (Franczyk, 2023). Also like shock absorbers, a strut is velocity sensitive, meaning that it is valves so that the amount of resistance can increase or decrease depending on how fast the suspension moves (Piwowarczyk, 2019). Struts also perform a second job.…”

This study examined various types of coil spring compressors in the automobile industry. A coil spring compressor for compressing a coil spring during the assembly of subassemblies of automotive suspension systems, having a head jaw positioned above a base and movable concerning the base. The coil spring compressor is provided with a pair of guide bars suspended from the head plate and on which a slidable carriage is mounted. The carriage carries a pair of compressing assemblies facing each other in vertical positions and positioned at both the upper and lower parts of the coil spring. Each assembly comprises a pair of compressor arms interconnected with each other. Each compressor arm is provided with a jaw mount to which a compressing hook is adjustably attached. The jaws are introduced between a few successive turns of the coil spring by operating handles provided on the compressor arms. The purpose of this design is to be used on various types of suspension disassembly and assembly of vehicles, the tool includes the upper and the lower jaw which by the smooth turning of the screw lowers to compress the coil spring or turns to release the compressed coil spring. The new design was made from mild steel and the tools used for the construction were an electric arc welding machine, power, and hand hacksaws, the bench vice, assorted hammers, vice, etc. The findings indicated that the new design is more efficient than the existing one. It was also recommended that car owners who visit the workshop should insist on the use of the right compression tool in the disassembly and assembly of their suspension systems.
