Overview:
This compression spring is a small, durable steel coil used in Stihl brushcutters to provide controlled compression and return force within the machine's assemblies. It helps maintain smooth, repeatable movement where a compact coil spring is specified, supporting reliable operation during cutting and trimming. Suitable for Stihl FS-series machines such as the FS 106 and FS 108, it replaces a worn, bent, or missing spring to restore proper function and reduce downtime. Finished in a bright metallic colour and made for dependable service, it is identified by Stihl reference 0000 997 2300 and is compatible with a wide range of popular models, including the FS 180. A like-for-like swap ensures a correct fit and consistent tension for efficient performance.
