Description
Overview:
This genuine Stihl torsion spring is a direct replacement for selected handheld leaf blowers and shredder vacs, including the BG 56 and SH 86. Built from durable metal (spring-steel type), it provides the rotary force needed to return levers and maintain correct tension in moving parts. When an original spring becomes bent, fatigued or broken, this part helps restore smooth, reliable operation and correct component alignment. Identified by Stihl MPN 0000 998 0401, it matches factory specification for fit and performance. Suitable for a range of BG and SH series models, it is a practical maintenance item for routine overhaul or repair, helping keep your machine responsive and easy to control during regular garden and site clean-up work.
Key Features:
- Genuine Stihl part for correct fit and reliable performance
- Durable metal construction designed for repeated flexing and long service life
- Helps restore positive return action and smooth operation in blower mechanisms
- Maintains correct tension in linkages to reduce sticking and inconsistent control
- Direct replacement to minimise downtime and avoid improvised fixes
- Stable performance under typical operating temperatures and vibration
- Clearly identified by MPN 0000 998 0401 for easy part matching
- Compatible across selected BG and SH series blowers and shredder vacs
Typical Applications:

Replace when the machine shows weak return action, uneven control feel, or visible spring damage. Suitable for routine servicing or fault repair to keep equipment responsive during leaf and debris clearing in gardens, estates, workshops, and light commercial sites.
