- Rubber part at top and bottom of coil spring
- Helps support and protect coil spring
- Replace when worn or not working correctly
The Coil Spring Insulator (Front) is a small but important component of the suspension system in your INFINITI. This part is composed of rubber and can be found at the top and bottom of your coil springs. The springs help absorb road shock, support the weight of your vehicle, and keep it at a level height. Consequently, the Coil Spring Insulator (Front) helps protect and support the coil spring. The insulator also helps dampen the movement of your coil spring contracting and expanding, which can create a smoother ride.
The Coil Spring Insulator (Front) is designed to sustain the strain of its job. However, the rubber might deteriorate and break down as time goes on. This is especially true in climates with extreme temperature fluctuation. After a certain amount of wear, your Coil Spring Insulator (Front) may stop working well or break altogether. Signs you need to replace your INFINITI Coil Spring Insulator (Front) include loud road noise, your vehicle bottoming out, and grinding sounds when you turn.
A worn Coil Spring Insulator (Front) might not cause immediate harm to your INFINITI but you still want to replace it quickly. If you wait too long, you might damage other parts of your vehicle, such as your struts, brakes, tires, tie rods, and coil springs. Unless your coil spring also appears worn or damaged, you can probably get by with only replacing the insulator. Similar to the springs, you want to replace your Coil Spring Insulator (Front) in pairs to help keep your vehicle balanced. If you aren’t experienced working with cars, you should leave the replacement to the professionals and bring your INFINITI into an authorized service center.
Your INFINITI Coil Spring Insulator (Front) is crucial to your suspension system, and you want to make sure you get a replacement made for your vehicle. Shopping OEM-made parts is an easy way to find the right fit.
