Please add me to the list of those with broken coil springs ...
Right rear broke near the base of the spring.
My question: Is it necessary to replace the springs as a pair >> both rear >> if only one is broken. I know the likelihood that the other will go at some point is still high ...
Will the car handle like cow dung if I only do one and leave an older spring on the left side.
Anyone else just done one at a time ?? How did the car handle ? I was told that if you wait too long, the strut will be damaged because the spring is no longer supporting the suspension ... just the strut ... is this true? Mechanically, it makes sense.
Estimate: $166 for one spring, $332 for both : $68 per spring; $82.50 for labor per side + tax
Has anyone tried to get any After Warranty Adjustment money from Ford for this problem that shouldn't occur in normal driving situations.
thanks,
