    Great video, thank you. I can't believe both rear coils had snapped.

    Thank-you for this. And a thumbs up 👍 for using your body weight to remove the nuts… unlike some “he-men” that think they have to lift. 🙂
    Oh, and as aside: In a pinch, you can always use the spring out of a clicky-pen.

    Is it worth changing springs if they look ok or putting better progressive springs in before they break

      Totally up to you. I would say check the mileage.

    The suspension elements are changed in pairs.

    • @addy600
      @addy600  Рік тому

      They certainly are. I did both sides.

      I think that's obvious. He doesn't need to show changing the other side as well 🙄

    How did you know it was broken? What were the symptoms?

      I could hear knocking, and feel the difference in the suspension.

    where would you place the jack stand?

    • @addy600
      @addy600  Рік тому +1

      If you use the jack at the rear, it will lift both rear and front. Then place stand at the front jacking point.

    Why you replace the coil springs? The car is more comfortable now?

      The coil springs were broken… they snapped.
