Description
Overview:
This Genuine Stihl AV Spring is a coil spring made from durable spring steel for the anti‐vibration system on Stihl professional chainsaws, including the MS 462 and MS 462 C‐M. It isolates the engine unit from the handle system to reduce transmitted vibration, helping the saw run smoothly and protecting other components from fatigue. As an OEM part (No. 1142 790 8301), it offers the correct fit and spring rate for reliable performance. It is suitable for routine maintenance or repair when existing AV springs are worn, broken, or have lost tension. Choosing a genuine part maintains the designed handling characteristics, improves user comfort, and supports the long service life expected from Stihl equipment.
