Description
Overview:
This torsion spring is a Genuine Stihl part for the RM 545.0 and RM 545.0 T lawn mowers. Built from durable spring steel, it provides controlled rotational force to return levers, linkages or covers to their resting position, helping the mower operate smoothly and consistently. It restores correct tension where the original spring has weakened, bent or snapped through use. As a direct replacement for OEM No. 6340 708 4505 (superseding 6340 708 4500), it is engineered for a precise fit within the RM 545 series housing and linkages. Designed to meet Stihl's specifications, it supports reliable starting, drive engagement and control functions, helping reduce vibration and improve cut quality in everyday mowing.
