Hi To All
Is it just me, I have never known so many road springs to break. On All
makes of Cars.
This year I have replaced 7 ,Last year 27, 5 years ago ZERO.
I know we all say pot holes but is that the answer to the spring
breaking or is it more material's

After the second front coil spring was discovered broken in about 18
months on my Mk 2 Mondeo I asked in disbelief to see it in the workshop,
as the handling seemed ok. It was broken near the top.

I asked the service guys (the ones in overalls) if they thought speed
bumps could be a cause, and they shrugged and said "Wear and tear".

I've had the Mk 3 Mondeo nearly 5 years and no broken springs so far,
despite the ever-increasing number of tank traps.
