Au-ve-co Products 10090 Headlamp Tension Spring

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS 10090 is a headlamp tension spring fabricated from spring steel, designed to maintain proper headlamp housing pressure and alignment in automotive lighting assemblies. This small but critical component ensures the headlamp retaining system holds the correct tension for secure lamp seating. At 0.01 pounds, it is a lightweight hardware item typically installed during headlamp housing service or restoration. Automotive technicians and restoration specialists install this part as a direct replacement when the original spring has lost tension, corroded, or broken during disassembly.

This headlamp tension spring is specifically noted for use on the Chevelle 1968 through 1976, corresponding to GM part number 3923948. It is also cross-referenced as CP part number J02344. This application spans a well-known GM muscle car platform, making it a common need during restoration work, headlamp housing rebuilds, or collision repair on vehicles from that production run. Technicians sourcing OEM-style hardware for these vehicles will find this spring fits the original factory configuration.
