I replaced both springs as I stated above, as well as both shocks. I have never used my Contour as an off road vehicle. Strickly highway miles are on my car. When I went to Ford to buy the srpings, they said that springs for my Contour was a common problem. I called one night to see if they had the springs, they had 4. Once I went there the next day they only had 2 left. I replaced the struts since the car was already up on the hydraulic lift. I didn't want to have to replace the struts and have to bring the car in a 2nd time. I fgure it had 167,000 miles. May as well. :p
