A spring installs between the mount and antenna and provides flexibility in the event that the antenna is hit or jarred. A disconnect also installs between the mount and antenna and allows the antenna to be quickly remove without the use of tools. Both a spring and disconnect install in the same way. Each have male threads on the bottom which screw into the stud on the mounting surface. The top surface of each has female threads into which the antenna screws. Due to this, CB springs and disconnects can both be used in the same installation, stacked right on top of one another.
