Title: Nearside Rear Spring!
Post by: Drewomega on 03 November 2008, 10:35:30

Hi! As on a previous thread regarding the said spring, I have found that it is broken. My last Elite 3.0 Omega spring also broke. Is it a problem with these models. Also is it wiser to buy original or aftermarket springs? Thanks.

as said, always replace in pairs, rear springs are fairly common, tend to go every 80k/90k ish.

Due the rears being exposed more to road salt and grit
