The coil spring damper module comprises a damper, a coil spring and a top mount.  
 

Damper  

The damper assembly is a similar design to the front suspension damper, with a twin tube design with an spring seat 
attached to the damper body. The lower end of the damper is fitted with a bush and is attached to the lower control arm 
with a bolt and self-locking nut. The damper functions by restricting the flow of hydraulic fluid through internal galleries 
within the damper.  
 
The damper rod moves axially within the damper, its movement limited by the flow of fluid through the galleries, providing 
damping of undulations in the terrain. The damper rod is sealed at its exit point from the damper body to maintain the fluid 
within the unit and to prevent the ingress of dirt and moisture. The seal also incorporates a wiper to keep the rod clean.  
 
The damper rod is located through a central hole in the top mount. The rod is threaded at its outer end and a self-locking 
nut secures the top mount to the damper rod.
