Ram 1500 Suspension Coil Springs

A coil spring is the most spread form of a mechanical spring – a device that accumulates mechanical energy. The coil springs have been used as part of automotive suspension systems for a long time; normally, the spring works with a shock absorber. In your Ram 1500, coil springs are installed both in front and in the rear (unless you have the optional air suspension), which is good, given that coil springs feature generally higher characteristics if compared to the leaf springs. A coil spring suspension is so widely used these days because of its highly favorable combination of softness, price, and durability. The latter, however, could be better.

Although the spring is far more robust than the shock it’s fitted to, it still experiences wear resulting in its “squatting” and failure. The latter is quite dangerous, as may cause the loss of control on the road, especially at high speed. That’s why a suspiciously soft or deformed spring providing an abnormally low ground clearance has to be replaced in advance.
