Description
Overview:
This Genuine Stihl torsion spring is an OEM replacement for Stihl chainsaws, engineered to deliver reliable rotational force in control and safety mechanisms. Made from durable, tempered spring steel, it helps maintain correct tension and smooth return action where a torsional load is required. Designed to fit Stihl MS380 and MS381, it matches the original specification for fit and performance and is supplied under MPN 0000 998 1801 (also referenced as 00009981801). Ideal for routine maintenance or repair when the original spring has fatigued, deformed or broken, this compact helical coil with twin legs seats cleanly in the factory housings. Choosing a genuine part ensures dependable operation and reduces the risk of misfit or poor performance often associated with unbranded alternatives.
