WANTED: Nearside Rear Suspension Spring PFL Estate
« on: 27 April 2010, 14:01:01 »

Hi Guys,

Had a bit of jangling from the rear end, so when I checked today I wasn't overly surprised to see this:



Does anyone one have an old spring knocking around in their garage looking for a new home?

I have got to do about 400 miles over the weekend, 5 up with luggage - so would like to get hold of a new one by the end of the week if possible. Can PayPal cash straight away.

Thanks!

Platty  :D

Order some from a motor factors... I wouldn't fit 2nd hand suspension parts unless it was an emergency ;)

Oh... And you should really replace in pairs :y

Hi Lazydocker,

Under any normal circumstances I would agree with you wholeheartedly. However, with a few large issues possibly on the horizon I would rather play it by ear and drop a cheapy on for the time being. If it drags itself through another test then I would treat it to some new parts.

Its just ticked over 200k this morning and I'd be surprised if she manages another 200k  ;D

always replace only in pairs - even when secondhand
