Title: Sagging back end
Post by: immx on 29 October 2009, 23:50:47

Since I got my miggy back in February it’s been doing a very good impression of a dog with an itchy bottom! :-[ Scraping the back end at every opportunity! After a few months on here I gather the rear springs are prone to snapping, so I have two questions.
First how do I tell if they are or is it fairly obvious once I get under there? :-?

Also I have seen that a lot of people recommend KYB springs, where is the best place to get them?

I had similar problem on my estate after saloon shocks were fitted in error, could your problem be related to incorrect shocks being fitted???

How do you load the car? is it heavy loaded in the rear?
if your springcoils are broken, you will see it. just follow the coils fro bottom to top and see if they are ok.

Admitedly the car is the storage place for a lot of gear but I wouldn't expect it to scrape the mudflaps every time I go round a roundabout!

I'll have to get under there and see what'd going on.
