General Information on springs
Tolerances always result in the production of springs. However in order to obtain uniform operating conditions in vehicles the tolerances in the spring
length or installation height resulting during production are compensated.
The springs are marked with a colored stripe on the bottom coil for identification of the various spring lengths.
