Kilen is one of Europe’s leading suppliers of springs, offering one of<br />
the widest ranges of replacements springs for passenger cars, on the<br />
market today.<br />
Kilen springs are manufactured in Sweden by the cold coiling of<br />
prehardened, oil tempered wire. This method, the most modern<br />
available today, was first developed in the production of engine<br />
valve springs. The major advantage of cold coiling is that the<br />
material consistently maintains maximum precision.<br />
Kilen springs are subject to shotpeening after the coiling. This<br />
process builds in stresses in the surface, thus maximising product<br />
life by preventing early fatigue and breakage.<br />
All Kilen springs are inspected and tested to ensure the highest<br />
quality standards.<br />
Kilen springs are protected from corrosion by an advanced zinc<br />
phosphate and epoxy powder resin paint system.<br />
Kilen springs are prior to dispatch packed in strong, attractively<br />
designed boxes, complete with application data and part number, to<br />
ensure that the customer receives the correct spring for the desired<br />
application.<br />
Kilen also offers a wide range of sport springs, gas springs and leaf<br />
springs.<br />
Important information<br />
1. Always replace springs in pairs. Different types of spring on the<br />
same axle may cause the car body to lean and consequently<br />
cause poor roadhandling.<br />
No guarantees are applicable when only one spring is replaced.<br />
2. When replacing the front springs, it is advisable to have the<br />
wheels re-aligned.<br />
3. Kilen springs are designed to match specific OEM-specifications.<br />
There are however, some occasions, when we produce slightly<br />
modified versions of the OEM springs to accommodate our<br />
production methods. The ride characteristics and performance<br />
remain the same.<br />
4. Saloon and Estate models normally have the same front springs.<br />
5. Petrol and Diesel models normally have the same rear springs.<br />
6. An ideal opportunity to fit new springs is when the shock<br />
absorbers are being replaced, since the spring mostly has to<br />
be removed anyway.<br />
7. Always check that the spring’s diameter and end shapes are<br />
correct before attempting to fit it into the spring pan.<br />
8. Generally the models stated in this catalogue are 2WD hatchback<br />
or saloon cars with petrol engines and without sport chassis or<br />
a self levelling device. All other models are specifically listed on<br />
separate lines.<br />
