Compression Spring

Hi,

I am trying to create a suspension system for a car. I want to create a compression coil spring to show this suspension. I can constrain one end of the spring to the starting plane but I am unsure how to constrain the spring to the finishing plain, so that as the wheel moves up and down the compression spring will allow this movement. Please see what appears on my screen below:

I would appreciate any advice someone may have.

Thank you in advance.

You'll need to make the spring part adaptive:

Hi Galaxybane,

Thanks very much. I will give this a go and hopefully it will sort it out.
