FAQs
What does 'Hook and Loop Attachment Points' mean?
This refers to the design of the ends of the spring. One end typically has a hook shape, and the other has a loop or eyelet, allowing them to be easily connected to the mounting brackets on the exhaust system and the vehicle's chassis.
Is this spring suitable for all exhaust systems?
The 90mm length and hook/loop design are common, but compatibility depends on your specific vehicle's exhaust system design. It is best suited for systems designed to use this type of spring connection for silencers or hangers.
How many springs do I need?
This spring is sold individually. The number of springs required depends on your vehicle's exhaust system configuration. Most systems use two springs to attach a silencer.
How does the coated alloy help?
The coating provides a protective layer that significantly increases the spring's resistance to rust and corrosion, especially important for components exposed to road salt, moisture, and exhaust fumes.
Can I use a longer or shorter spring?
Using a spring of the incorrect length can lead to improper tension, stress on the exhaust system, or insecure mounting. It is recommended to use the specified 90mm length or consult your vehicle's service manual for recommendations.
What is the lifespan of this exhaust spring?
The lifespan depends on driving conditions and exposure to elements. The corrosion-resistant coating helps maximize longevity, but regular inspection is recommended, with replacement needed if signs of significant wear or corrosion appear.
Troubleshooting
Spring disconnects unexpectedly
Ensure both the hook and loop attachment points on the spring and the corresponding brackets on the vehicle are secure and undamaged. Check if the spring is the correct tension for the application; if too weak, consider a heavier-duty option if available and suitable.
Corrosion despite coating
While the coating offers resistance, extreme conditions may cause wear. Inspect regularly and clean thoroughly. If significant corrosion is present, replace the spring to prevent failure.
Difficulty attaching the spring
Ensure the attachment points are clean and aligned. If the spring is too taut to connect, temporarily support the exhaust component or use appropriate tools to create slack. Verify the 90mm length is suitable for the gap.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable coated alloy construction resists corrosion.
- Versatile hook and loop ends ensure easy attachment.
- Standard 90mm length fits many applications.
- Ideal for securing silencers and underbody mounts.
- Sold individually for precise purchasing.
Cons
- Sold individually, requiring multiple purchases for full system needs.
- May require specific tools for installation depending on the exhaust system.
- Not suitable for applications requiring significantly different lengths.
- Relies on the integrity of the connection points on the exhaust system.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Autogem Exhaust Spring 90mm is designed for straightforward attachment. Ensure the existing mounting points on both the exhaust component (e.g., silencer) and the vehicle's underbody bracket are clean and free from debris. Connect one end of the spring to its designated attachment point, then stretch the spring and connect the other end to its corresponding point. The hook and loop design facilitates this connection.
Compatibility: This 90mm spring is generally compatible with most exhaust systems that utilize a spring-clip mounting method for silencers or underbody hangers. It is particularly suited for vehicles where this type of flexible exhaust connection is standard. Always verify the required length and attachment type for your specific vehicle model.
Care: The coated alloy construction provides inherent corrosion resistance. However, for optimal longevity, it is advisable to periodically inspect the spring during vehicle maintenance. Clean any accumulated dirt or road salt from the spring and its connection points using a mild detergent and water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or high-pressure washing directly on the spring.
