I agree. Will change the springs then and see if that fixs it.

Wont be any special springs or lowering springs. Just the cheapest Euro car parts have to offer. They have 25% off online.

considering its a snaped spring ide be pretty supprised if replacing it didnt fix it

and yeah as above personally ide do one see what its like and if the other needs doing go for it.

my dad ha one coil snap on his car. replaced one. had a drive. was fine. still got one spring 4 years older than the other now.

Any other car id say fit one.

But from experiance of only fitting one spring at a time on these fiestas and being caught out twice on mums car and a customers of the other side going afew days later.

These springs are commonly weak and think if ones fitted its very slightly stiffer on one side and pushes the older one over the edge. Just my experiance on these cars, any other id say not to bother haha

It was £33 for a pair of springs. So i am changing both.

Just lucky it wasnt on the porsche.... Bit pricy then!
