Description
Overview:
This tension spring is a genuine Stihl part designed for professional and domestic chainsaws, including the Stihl 044 and 046. Manufactured from high‐tensile spring steel with a durable finish, it provides the controlled tension needed for smooth, reliable operation within the saw's mechanism. By keeping components correctly loaded, it helps prevent snagging, sticking, or loss of function that can occur as original springs fatigue over time. Built to OEM specifications under Stihl's quality standards, it fits precisely in the intended location and restores proper performance without compromise. Identified by Manufacturer Part Number 1128 160 5501, it is suitable for routine maintenance or repairs where the original spring has worn, weakened, or failed due to heavy use or age.
