Coil spring
A thick steel wire that has been coiled and heat-treated to form a very strong spring. Commonly used in light truck suspension systems, coil springs are space-efficient and can vary in stiffness, even within the same spring (i.e., stiff at the top and not stiff at the bottom). The coil springs on a given vehicle largely define how that truck's ride and handling will feel.
