Thanks for writing in. You are showing a coil housing pivot that looks similar to our 15-087. I believe this is the replacement you are looking for. For the top coil spring assembly, see our 15-086. The coil springs inside your housing should be our Series 180. There is a spring weight code stamped on the spring.If you need to replace the springs, you will need to have that stamped number in order to do so. Most common pivot bars that go with the 15-087 is 26-040. Does this look similar to your pivot bar? From what I can see in your photo, your coil spring still looks to be in good condition. You will just need to replace your coil housing pivot and pivot bar. We also placed some media guides on this page that offers additional information.
