What is a Roadspring?

[mcyates]

Mine is broke, i took it into Rentech for the service and he said it was broke and should be covered by my warranty. What is the roadspring?

Its part of the suspension system, when a car is lowered say on Apex springs, thats what a roadspring is basically. Your one is proper snapped at the back its not likely to drop out but its the 1st on I have seen broken on a 182. Warranty will cover that.

i though it was called a load spring?? afeects braking power to the back brakes dependant on load (weight) over the rear axel!

common on audi's but like mike said i havent seen one one a clio yet!

renaults seem to be breaking them all the time at the moment, im almostr placing bets on laguna's having broken springs now.

I think Mike means a road spring is just the normal suspension spring. Your thinking of brake pressure compensators.
Mikes on about these one if I'm right.
