What is a coil suspension spring?
Coil suspension springs provides the link between the chassis and the body of the vehicle. Coil springs provide a number of different essential functions such as dictating the ride height of the vehicle and they help to soften the shocks and bumps from the road surface. Springs affect the handling of the vehicle and as such are an important safely component.
There are different types of springs as follows:

Brands such as Febi, Napa, Apec and KYB have long warranties on their springs which offer greater piece of mind and assurance of quality. The choice of which brand to buy is usually down to your budget combined with the parts availability.
How can I tell my spring needs replacing?
A visual inspection will show if the spring is deteriorating or has cracked. It is not recommended to drive your vehicle as usual with a broken spring. The alignment of the vehicle will be uneven which would affect control of the vehicle in an emergency. If the spring has started to corrode it could be that the springs is in need of replacement. We’d recommend you have a qualified mechanic inspect it to make sure. Here are some symptoms of a broken spring:
