[@geoffdecorator307]

Another tip i found is to wire brush and clean where the spring fits top and bottom and then lightly smear a finger full of standard car grease along the mount positions before putting the spring back back in position ,this helps to stop any creaking noises as the spring bounces up and down in extreme cold or hot weather conditions .

My mechanic fitted 4 lowering springs to my fiat Coupé for £80 he charged £50 to do the front macpherson struts and £30 to do the rear trailing arms... that was a decade ago so inflation has probably bumped prices up a lot since then but that's not a bad price... keep trusting your mechanic!

I'm replacing the Rear Subframe Axle Beam on 2009 Nissan Sentra, and was watching this film to see how to work with the springs (they are the same on our Nissan). I think maybe I need to replace those springs as well as I'm there anyway. How often do you need to replace the Coil Springs? The springs look good, but I've heard that they get compressed with time or smth. I'm replacing the subframe since the car was hit and the Rear Axle Beam got slightly bent, even a small fold was formed on the PS of it. Thank you for the detailed and informative film.

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

You're welcome. Depending on the road conditions, the springs should last between 50k to 80k kilometers.They're relatively cheap so if you're already replacing the axle, you might as well replace them too, unless they they are fairly new

Is it normal to have some difference when it comes to the wheel-to-fender gap? I have a 2017 Honda HR-V that I use as my daily and that I recently had suspension parts replaced (including tie rod ends, rack ends, lower control arms and ball joints, shock absorbers) and I only just noticed (after 7 years lol, not really sure if this was a problem before) that the left side has a shorter wheel-to-fender gap compared to the right side. The difference at the front is around 1/4 inch or 6.35 mm and the rear is around 1/8 inch or 3.175 mm from my measurements. For the record, the car rides relatively fine after the replacements.

[@vickynorton4698]

Would it be quiet a similar process for a Toyota spacia or better to find information for that particularly? Cheers

[@PES_COMMUNITY_REAL]

Could you use spring compressors and take it off that way? instead of undoing strut bolts and lowering?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

I'm not sure. If you could fit the compressors in there properly it could be possible

[@nicholasnixon8291]

That looks so simple. My Hyundai Sonata 2009 totally different.

[@Dfm253]

The Sonata is heavier and likely has a strut instead of separate coils and springs.

[@nicholasnixon8291]

@@Dfm253 They are coil springs, not strut&shock combos, but the process for me was a bit different. The suspension appears to be more complex in my car than the Yaris. In the end I just removed the lower controller arm bolt from the wheel assembly, went up and down with the jack to release it from the wheel assembly and pulled out the spring then put the new spring in. Slightly different process but the spring came easy. 😊

[@curte6062]

Awesome the only thing I would do different is take the brake line loose from the bracket behind the brake drum and give yourself a little bit more Play to work with other than that excellent. I wish the rear coils on my Isuzu Rodeo where that easy though

What is the part called where the top of the spring sits? Mine is rusted with not much left to hold the spring in place? Sub frame?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Yes I think it's part of the rear subframe

[@quincy189]

what if you don't put the rubber at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="264">4:24</a>?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

A worn out or missing coil spring seat will allow metal to metal contact and the spring will move around and cause noise.

[@rafaelagosto5992]

Quick where can you order the rear struts

[@prashantmishra52]

I just installed it from a mechanic, but mine makes cracking sound on bumpy roads. Does that go away after a couple of days? car was Hyundai eon and replacement was orignal spare part from dealership.

[@_Livid_]

That’s not normal at all. You should take it back and have them check it. I can guarantee you they didn’t line the rubber boots or the spring itself up correctly. It’s definitely one or the other.

Had these two coils replaced and now every time I go over any incline I hear popping noises like when you were a kid riding your bicycle with freshly inflated tires and you ride over a small stone and it is shot out from the pressure of the tire riding over it and it makes that "popping" ping noise. Is this normal for new rear spring coils to make this pinging popping noise???

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

It sounds like the spring seats might not be fitted in the right position at the top or bottom or the springs aren't rotated with the spring ends pointing towards the front of the car. Did you have them fitted at a garage ?

[@jnbond]

[@f458italiano]

Great Video! I had a question, My 2010 Mercedes CLS 219 had both its rear coil springs replaced recently as they were fractured. Following replacement, the rear ride height seems to be a few centimetres more than it was previously. Is this normal? In time, will the rear ride height go back to how it was on the old springs that were replaced? Many thanks in advance.

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

I would assume that the older springs would have sagged a bit as they became worn out and that new springs would initially raise the rear of the car a little bit

[@f458italiano]

@@screwsnutsandbolts Thanks, how much should the ride height eventually settle by and how long does this usually take?

[@JimmyTheRake]

Fractured springs is a common problem with modern cars due to the cheap 'n' nasty way the springs are made (Renault Clio is particularly bad). The last coil snaps off causing the car to drop so new springs will restore the correct height.

Great video really clean you made it look easy, do you think i can release bolt from top of suspension as bottom bolt is seized up?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

I'm not recommending you do it but it's probably possible. It would be a bit more difficult when you're jacking it back up and guiding the top of the shock absorber through the hole. If you're going to try it make sure the jack is taking the tension from the coil spring before you unbolt it from the top !

[@sunilcherianpullockaran8817]

You should have removed the brake line from the trailing arm before levering the arm to pull out the spring. All else was great.

[@sunilcherianpullockaran8817]

@Michael Powell I should have mentioned "un-clipped the braided hose pipe from the trailing arm", not remove it from the brake drum assembly, which would result in air entering into the pipe. The pipe should never ever be stretched.

[@sunilcherianpullockaran8817]

The detrimental stretch is from 3:45 to 3:51. Over time the rubber/neoprene becomes brittle and any stretch is harmful
