Weakened spring??


Recommended Posts

Posted

Since having my spacers fitted I have noticed the gap between my rear wheel arch and wheel is a lot lower on the nearside than the offside - by almost an inch. I have looked at the springs and they don't appear damaged - they are both the same bore and both red colour coded. Is it possible for a spring to become 'weakened'? What else could be the cause of this?

Yeh sounds like it. I think I have a spare rear at home. Dan and I are doing some bits tomorrow so if you want to come over to Redhill you could swap it out? Untill you find a replacement pair.

Hi Alex - hope all is well with you.

I am going to take Mark up on his offer for the short term - but am thinking of getting coilovers soon - I have been looking at the BC racing ones - can you get hold of these?

The car definitely felt as if it had a bit more 'poke' and the cornering was soooo much better after replacing that shock. :thumbs:

I went back the way you said, got to the Shell garage but couldn't find the tracking place - so I will get it done locally soon.

 

Thanks again matey :thumbs:
