LR3/Disco 3
A spring aid is fitted to the damper rod and prevents the top mount contacting the top of the damper during full
suspension compression and assists the suspension tune.
Spring and Top Mount
The coil spring fitted differs with vehicle specification. Each spring is color coded to identify its rating and fitment
requirements.
The coil spring is located in a spring seat which is an integral part of the damper body. The design of the spring seat
prevents the spring rotating. The opposite end of the coil spring is located in a spring isolator which is fitted in the top
mount. The spring isolator is made from rubber and prevents any noise produced during spring and damper
compression/extension from being transmitted to the vehicle body. Three types of spring isolator are available which allow
for differences in vehicle specification.
The top mount is fitted with a bush and a rebound washer which are located between the top mount plate and the damper
rod. The top mount is secured to the damper rod with a self-locking nut. The top mount attaches to a housing on the
vehicle chassis with three integral studs and self-locking nuts.
The spring is fitted with spring spacers which are located between the spring isolator and the top mount. The spring
spacers control the length of the spring to maintain the correct trim height. The spring spacers are colour coded and are
supplied with a replacement spring.
