Installed as part of the front air suspension assembly, the helper spring assists the air spring and shock absorber by supporting suspension loads during changes in ride height and suspension travel. Constructed from high-strength spring steel and engineered to withstand continual compression and extension cycles, it contributes to smooth suspension operation and enhanced ride comfort.  

What This Product Does:

• Provides supplementary support to the front air suspension assembly.
• Assists in maintaining correct ride height.
• Supports suspension movement throughout its travel range.
• Helps reduce load on the air spring system.
• Contributes to ride comfort and suspension stability.
• Maintains proper suspension geometry and wheel control.
• Supports vehicle handling during braking and cornering.
• Enhances overall air suspension performance and reliability.

Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:

• Uneven front ride height.
• Sagging suspension on one side of the vehicle.
• Reduced ride comfort.
• Excessive suspension movement.
• Clunking or rattling noises from the suspension assembly.
• Increased load on air suspension components.
• Poor vehicle stability during cornering or braking.
• Visible corrosion, cracking or damage to the spring.
• Suspension warning messages in severe cases.
• Premature wear of associated suspension components.

Why Replacement Matters:

• Helper springs operate under constant load and are exposed to road debris, moisture, temperature fluctuations and repeated suspension cycling. Over time, the spring can weaken, corrode or sustain physical damage, reducing its ability to properly support the suspension system.
• A worn helper spring can place additional strain on the air suspension assembly, affecting ride quality, handling characteristics and suspension durability. If left unresolved, excessive loading may accelerate wear of air springs, shock absorbers and suspension mounts, potentially leading to costly repairs.
• Replacing a worn or damaged helper spring restores proper suspension support, helps maintain correct ride height and ensures the air suspension system operates as intended. An OE Match replacement provides factory-style fitment, durable construction and dependable long-term performance, helping preserve the comfort, stability and refined driving experience expected from your Porsche.
