Suspension spring pads – selection and application

Spring pads support suspension coil springs and help limit vibration or metal-to-metal contact. They may be made of rubber or other materials specified for the vehicle.

How to choose the right pad

Compare OE number, axle, upper or lower mounting position, diameter, seat shape and spring version. Some vehicles use different pad thicknesses.

Wear symptoms and installation

Knocking, incorrectly seated springs and cracked pads require inspection. Spring removal can be dangerous without the proper equipment, so follow the vehicle manufacturer's procedure.
