MEASURING YOUR
OLD SPRING MADE EASY |
|
|
|
|
Here is an easy way to determine your old spring size. |
|
|
|
|
|
1. All measurement must be taken off the
unwound spring. |
|
|
(Broken spring works well) |
|
|
|
|
|
2. First we need to determine the wire size.
This method is quite simple. |
|
|
|
|
|
3.
On the unwound spring, count 10 coils. |
|
|
(See
diagram below) |
|
|
|
|
|
4.
Again on the unwound spring count 20 coils. |
|
|
(See
diagram below) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5.
Now use a tape measure or ruler to measure the distance between both
the 10 coil and the 20 coil count. |
|
|
|
|
|
Note: 20 coil count is to back up your 10 coil count.
Double checking can never hurt. |
|
|
|
|
|
6. Using the chart below. Take your 10 coil
measurement and your 20 coil measurement and match it to the wire
size show to the right on the chart |

7.
Now you have the wire size of your old spring. (Good Job) |
|
|
|
|
|
8.
Measure the Inside
diameter of the old spring. ( 1.75" or 2" are the most
popular sizes ) |
|
|
|
|
|
9.
Now you have the I.D. of your old spring. |
|
|
|
|
|
10.
Measure the length (without the cones ends) of the unwound
spring. |
|
|
|
|
|
Congratulations!
You
successfully have all the information of your old spring. |
|
|
|
|
|
You have: Wire Size X Inside
Diameter X and Length X. With this information we can now determine
the correct replacement springs. |
