i need to go on a diet, just sat in my gf's ka (our only car at theminute) and the rear suspension spring on the offside just snapped. now for the girly question, what do i do to get it fixed? source my own part and get garage to collect the car?

[arbitor]

Yeh just do that, or get a mate to do it

[Lowe]

To err on the side of caution, I'd be looking at replacing a pair rather than just a single side - suspension needs to be as equal as possible.

Lowe is correct, it would be far more advisable to do both at the same time, not only that but it will be cheaper to get them both done while the car is up on the ramp.

[pendulum666]

How much do you care about the car? Shoudl get both done really but if it was my old car I wouldnt

[Russ]

did it myself, the man at ford said that i should get both done together, but 3 reasons why i didnt, were changing it after xmas, its only 3 years old and doen less than 20k miles, it was 50 quid for a bit of coil :O

[SilentDeath]

^^^ thats one of the many resons why I will never buy an almost new car..

how long do springs normally last? 3 years just doesn't seem very long..

[Russ]

nor me, we didnt buy it new

i agree though 3 years is a disgrace
