Dual springs ?

Do dual springs usually have a second spring on the inside? I got some today and the dual spring on the inside is flat, and looks like it's welded to the outer spring, is this normal??

Re: Dual springs ?

You must be talking about the damper. It is flat and goes between the inner and outer spring.

the inner spring will hold up the valve, hence the name dual spring

Re: Dual springs ?

No, a dampner will not do anything except dampen harmonics from the spring, it does not add spring tension

Re: Dual springs ?

I've seen the damper get broken in two when a single spring fails. I've also seen it get bent up from the spring failing, too.
