Coilovers help in reducing body roll as your car rounds corners and even offer a steadier ride letting you lower the car without rubbing the pavement while driving. Both coilovers and shock absorbers work on the same principle, with the major difference of a coil surrounding the strut. You can adjust the height of coilovers as the coil is mounted on an adjustable perch.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_coilovers_work\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">How do coilovers work?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Coilovers use both the technologies of coil springs and shock absorbers for their functioning, offering you a smooth and controlled drive. Coilovers come with a coil or spring covered around a shock absorber. The coil compresses when your car hits a bump, and the shock absorber pushes the spring back up for a comfortable ride when the road levels out again.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For those who love to get their car as low as possible, the coilover gives you a firmer drive as it is adjusted lower. It happens as the mainspring gets more compressed as the coilover is shortened, and more force exerts on the coilover\u2019s top as you compress the spring further. As a result of this force, it becomes very difficult for the coilover to compress to match the road\u2019s condition, offering a stiffer drive.\u00a0<\/span><span

car\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Measure the current ride height before you touch a bolt. Check and ensure that your car is on level ground. Measure from the center of the wheel to the bottom of the fender. It will be good if you can spray some penetrating oil on the bolts you\u2019re working on the night before installing the coilovers. The correct steps to install coilovers may vary with each car. But, here are a few general steps that you can follow to learn about how to install coilovers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>1. Remove the wheels<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The initial step is to remove the wheels. For gaining access to the suspension components, raise your car using a jack and remove the wheels. Ensure to check the owner\u2019s manual to correctly locate the jacking points and where to place jack stands. Always use jack stands and never depend solely on the jack to support your vehicle. Make sure not to leave any part of your body under the vehicle longer than you have to.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>2. Remove the struts<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The next step is to remove the struts and coil springs. Normally, there will be a few bolts at the strut tower\u2019s top, three around the perimeter, and one center nut for the strut shaft. There will also be one bolt at the strut\u2019s bottom. You will have to remove some bolts from the upper or lower control arms to remove the strut assembly. You can also check and replace worn bushings at this time. Also, inspect the removed bolts and replace them if needed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>3. Install the coilovers<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">After removing the struts, install the coilovers. If you need to assemble the coilovers, make sure you follow the manufacturer\u2019s instructions that come with them. Although each coilover is alike, each manufacturer will put their spin on it. After installing, you can install and adjust the camber plate if one was there in the kit, along with any brake\/ABS lines you loosened and swaybar end links.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Once installed, adjust the collars to get the coilover to the height you need. Check that each coilover on the same axle is at the same height and has the same amount of threads exposed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>4. Reinstall the wheels<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Replace your wheels and tighten everything up. Once done, drive the vehicle for at least a few yards to settle the suspension and park your car on a level, flat area. Measure the ride height from the center of the wheel to the bottom of your fender again. Adjust the spring preload up or down from there based on your needs. Always follow the coilover manufacturer\u2019s recommendations to know how high\/low the preload can be adjusted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>5. Check the car\u2019s alignment<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Ensure to check your car\u2019s alignment whenever you work on its suspension, especially when you loosen or unbolt the control arms. Realize that your car has alignment issues if its steering wheel isn\u2019t centered while going straight or has poor handling in corners. It is best to re-torque the bolts you touched after driving a few distances.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_benefits_of_coilovers\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">What are the benefits of coilovers?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Knowing the benefits is as important as knowing how to install coilovers.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Improves handling:<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> if installed properly, your car will get better handling.
