Members Kcstott Posted October 19, 2020 Members Report Posted October 19, 2020 Cutting springs only reduces preload. but the spring rate actually increases. you are reducing the number of active coils and that increases the spring rate. What should be done is pull the spring out and measure it. then order a new spring from say McMaster Carr with either smaller wire diameter or more coils per inch or both. Quote
