when i open my window, they make a springing noise at the point where they should stop. The will usually raise several inches than they should. What do i need to do to fix this?

It could be you could use a sash stop. See our 55-043 and see if this can work in your window, but this may just be a superficial solution. I wonder if maybe your spring is improperly calibrated. Do you know what kind of balance you have? I notice you purchased our 75-006, which is for tilt window spiral balances. Would you have something like our Series 900 or Series 600 spiral balances?

The existing windows are kinro for mobile homes. It would take series 600 spiral balances. I will use the charging tool first, and if that doesn't work, I will just install new balances. Thank you for the quick reply.

Great! I agree, that's the best way to go. There's no harm in trying to adjust the tension, so it's always the first step we recommend.
