Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Business Reorganization	Business Reorganization The Company authorized the closure of production operations ("Saline operations") at its Associated Spring facility located in Saline, Michigan (the "Closure") during the first quarter of 2014. The Saline operations, which included approximately 50 employees, primarily manufactured certain automotive engine valve springs, a highly commoditized product. Based on changing market dynamics and increased customer demands for commodity pricing, several customers advised the Company of their intent to transition these specific springs to other suppliers, which led to the decision of the Closure. The Closure occurred during the second quarter of 2014, however certain other facility Closure costs, including the transfer of machinery and equipment, continued during the remainder of 2014. The Company recorded restructuring and related costs of $2,750 and $6,020 during the first quarter of 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2014, respectively. This first quarter balance of $2,750 included $2,112 of employee termination costs, primarily severance expense of $1,174 and defined benefit pension and other postretirement plan (the "Plans") costs related to the accelerated recognition of actuarial losses and special termination benefits, and $638 of other Closure costs, primarily related to asset write-downs. The Closure was completed as of December 31, 2014. Closure costs were recorded primarily within Cost of Sales in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income and are reflected in the results of the Industrial segment.
