Over the course of over a year, mine has been mounted on my Jeep. Despite living near a saltwater river (Yorktown), I have not yet noticed any rust. It seems to be a good work!
If you mean "bend 90*", you need to specify what you mean. In order to bend 90 degrees without taking a permanent set, the spring must be permanently There is no chance of damaging the spring when it bends about 60 degrees. By combining the flex of the antenna and the spring, it will bend
As with the antenna, this thread is also used. It will fit too if the antenna is the same size.

In order to avoid rust (it's stainless steel, so it shouldn't rust, I'm just a bit squeamish about it), some grease is placed inside both ends (inside the threaded area). I'm guessing (0 is a bit off. inches) longer without running into No way to go 3 feet Firestik (too long) and 2 feet is just a tad short. This is what I was looking for. Definitely strong enough to secure the two feet of FireStik in place and make it difficult for it to sway and hit anything it shouldn't.
It's difficult to identify any fault with the spring that led to three stars. mount stud of the antenna was broken off when the threads of the mounting stud galled while the antenna was temporarily installed. This spring I had to drill and tap the antenna base because it was imperative to install the antenna. I was really tired after all that Nevertheless, the product worked as designed and is expected to last a.
The system was installed on a Volvo dump truck from 2020. A 3ft firestick antenna gives me an inch or two of lean back when used on a highway at speeds over 70 mph. At low speed I have had it in multiple trees at the job site. It always springs right back up again after a short time. The SWR is set without any problem. So far, there has not been any rust.
Buying something else rather than returning and returning. After installing on my Jeep and moving spring, I had great swr for five minutes, but then it turned into a complete nightmare. A crappy copper strand was stuck all over the place and coming out of the sides of the spring when I bent it. I understand what is causing my swr to fluctuate.
The Wilson quality i was expecting does not come through here. I wonder if they go down the same line. On the spring body, it has a grey finish, leading me to believe it may not be stainless steel. To be honest I wouldn't put my name on it if I were Wilson. Over the next few months, this review will be updated.
This was installed on my 2019 vulcan voyager so I could connect a CB antenna to my handheld midland. I was having problems moving down the highway with the antenna swinging and hitting me. On my pathfinder, I'll remove the spring and see if it works.
Despite this, I cannot understand why there are pits on the antenna top and scratches on the antenna. In any case, it doesn't seem as though this would affect the effectiveness of the product at all, but I guess it's just something to keep in mind when ordering The mounting bracket appears to be well constructed and it has been mounted to the front fender of a Jeep Jk. In a few days, I will post a second review once the antenna is mounted. As far as this product is concerned, I am pretty satisfied with it.
