This linear shock spring is supplied for R/C-scale applications as a direct replacement for common shock units. The 3.2 marking identifies the spring rate, and the part is used by model builders to fine-tune handling and ride characteristics on electric and nitro powered R/C cars.
Typical installation mirrors other coil-over assemblies: remove the shock cap and shaft, slide off the old spring, fit the new spring onto the shaft and set preload using the collar. Ensure the spring is properly seated at both ends and that the shock shaft moves freely without interference from the coil.
In setup work, linear springs adjust the overall spring rate and preload response without altering damping. Fit matched springs on paired shocks for consistent balance, make incremental preload changes during testing, and note settings so you can restore original values when required.
