• What exactly is this spring used for?

It provides a controlled elastic force where the aircraft OEM calls for MS24586C334, typically in actuators, valves, latches, or small mechanical assemblies.

• How do I inspect the spring before installation?

Verify the part number and paperwork, check for straightness, uniform winding, intact finish, and no nicks, corrosion, or distortion.

• Can I reuse the spring after removal?

Reuse is only acceptable if the spring shows no permanent set, corrosion, cracks or other damage and the AMM permits reuse; otherwise, replace with a new certified unit.
