Variblee rate springs defelct at different amounts per inch. An example would be: 200 lbs. = 1 inch deflection, 600 lbs. = 2 inch deflection, 1000 lbs. = 3 inch deflection, and so on. Varible coils have a soft initial spring rate and a much firmer spring rate to handle more weight, decrease sway, and improve handling.

Constant rate springs defelct the same amount each inch. An example would be: 200 lbs. = 1 inch deflection, 400 lbs. = 2 inch deflection, 600 lbs. = 3 inch deflection, and so on. Constant rate coils have will restore your vehicle to its original height and ride.

Custom coils are designed to your exact specifications. They can be made either constant rate or varible rate.

A progressive-wound spring is similar to a dual-rate in that it has an initial and a final rate. The drawback of a progressive spring is that the crossover point is not adjustable. How the spring is wound determines the characteristics of the spring. Depending on shaft travel of a particular shock, a progressive spring can actually crossover the initial rate in pre-load or not attain the final rate at all.

Progressive rate springs have a variable spring rate. What this means is that the spring gets firmer as it gets compressed. The harder you push into a corner the stiffer the spring becomes. A specific rate springs features the same rate all the time, it does not matter what pressure is applied on the springs. Progressive rate springs tend to have better characteristics on the street where as a specific rate springs shines on the track.

Progressive" is an political term used loosely to identify activists of the left, favorable to sound and fair economic and social policies, equality of chances, and the defense of personal rights. The European Tribune is broadly progressive, but welcomes all contributors regardless of political self-identification, provided that they be respectful of the mission of this site, provide principled disagreement and don't engage in trollish behavior.

Besides supporting the weight of a vehicle, the leaf springs control the ride height and keep the tires in contact with the road. Springs also affect alignment angles and are the most important components in controling the "feel" of a vehicles suspension system.

Worn or sagging springs - Weak springs lower the chassis height of a vehicle, resulting in premature tire wear and poor handling characteristics. Sagging when loaded - Vehicles used for family transportation, works trucks, or sales fleets can benefit from upgrading to Broken original springs - Although uncommon in general, certain vehicles have been known to have a very high faliure rate of broken springs.

There is no standard life expectancy of springs. In general, coil springs on heavier full-sized vehicles tend to last longer than those on smaller light weight applications. To determine when coil springs need to be replaced have the springs inspected and the vehicle ride height checked by a trained professional.

The most common method of coil spring inspection is checking the vehicle ride height. Measure! Don't rely on eyesight alone! This method will only catch the extreme cases of spring sag or leaning. In addition to checking ride height, look for these signs, which also indicate the coil spring requires attention: Vehicle that commonly carry extra weight, resulting in unlevel condition most of the time (family transportation, work trucks, and sales fleets).

Research indicates that only a small number of those with drinking problems will experience a progressive decline. An individual's drinking pattern frequently ebbs & flows over time. While "not drinking" may seem an unpleasant choice to someone who is currently a frequent and heavy drinker, research clearly indicates that even those labeled "alcoholic" have periods of normal drinking or even abstinence under the right conditions - if they so choose.

A bifocal lens only allows you to have two vision distances (near and far) while progressive lenses give you all your range of vision from distance, intermediate and near in a smooth progression. Most people like the newer technology of the progressive because it allows for more natural vision and cosmetically they look nicer because there is no line. The upside to standard lined bifocals is that the peripheral vision is sometimes better.

Your interest-rate will depend on your credit and other criteria. We regularly work with customers that have both poor and bad credit and you will be assigned to a credit specialist I will find you the best possible interest-rate for your credit situation. The interest-rate that you will be offered will depend on the following variables:

The UV lamp should be installed above the air conditioning coil. Drilling inside the coil frame is risky due to refrigerant lines in the vicinity.

When replacing your air conditioner or heat pump the answer is most likely yes. The efficiency ratings that are advertised for an air conditioner or heat pump are based on the performance as part of a matched system. If only the outdoor portion is changed, the efficiency and savings could be less than that of a matched system.

A T-coil is a device in some hearing aids that allows a hearing aid to pick up low-level magnetic signals from a phone. When a T-coil is used, the microphone on the hearing aid is turned off and the sound from the phone is delivered to the hearing aid via the magnetic signals. Because the microphone is turned off, T-coils help eliminate backgrounds noises and help the user hear only the phone conversation.

Electronic ignition has been around a long time; it was invented by Chrysler and used on their cars starting in 1971 or 1972, but didn't hit some automakers until years later (Volkswagen in 1980 - when they already had multiple-point electronic fuel injection!). The system is a computer-controlled way to deliver power to spark plugs without cumbersome and maintenance-heavy breaker points, and with better timing and far higher levels of current.

Coil bind takes place whenever a spring is compressed and one or more of the spring's active coils contact another coil. The rate of the spring increases whenever a coil binds since the bound coil or coils are no longer active (this changes one of the three rate-determining factors). Handling is affected whenever a spring coil binds. If the spring is compressed to solid height (all coils touching) during suspension movement, the suspension will cease to work.

One coil has a yellow wire and one has a blue wire (comming from the points). What cyl. fires off which coil.
