Question - Aux spring?!

Recommended Posts

First off, is this thing even needed?! I took it out when I lowered my car and I kinda dont feel like putting it back in to be honest :lol: but what does it even do? like whats its purpose? I looked in my manual and it only said how to remove/install it.

 

Thanks

I am wondering the same thing.

 

ALL of My W's have (or are supposed to have) the dampening springs, except my 95s... I think.

 

they are a PITA for doing a 94+ brake upgrade in the rear, and the 93 down cars have a different angle on the upper bracket that blocks the newer caliper type. the upper bracket on my 94 was revised and clears the newer type brake. THey are missing on my 93 vert which allowed a simple upgrade for it, but my 91 I had to physically cut into to them with a cut-off wheel to provide caliper clearance!!!

I don't think they're needed. I've removed them from a few W's. I think the rear ends on them hit bumps a tad harder without them in place, but I couldn't tell for sure.
