Common local problems in Gilbert
Dust and grit accumulation near the spring drum
Dry, dusty conditions common in this climate zone can work into the spring drum and cable pulleys, increasing friction and wear over time.
Heat-driven spring lubricant breakdown
Intense sun exposure and sustained high temperatures can dry out spring lubricant faster than in milder climates, increasing coil friction and wear.
Thermal expansion on torsion bar hardware
Large day-to-night temperature swings cause the torsion bar and mounting hardware to expand and contract, which can gradually affect spring alignment.
UV-related cable sheathing fade
Prolonged direct sun exposure typical of this climate can fade and gradually weaken exposed cable sheathing faster than in milder regions.
