Spooky!
Hi,walking out of my garage today heard an almighty bang,thought something had fallen off the wall,checked around and saw nothing out of place,then thought no way,but checked my front springs on my launch car and low and behold the front passenger spring had snapped.Spooky because it has been SORND for several months,and if I had not been in the garage when it snapped would not have known.It has snapped on the bottom coil so is barely visible.Blessing in disguise,as I would not have know and if I had been using it i wonder how far I would have got before it collapsed.Other downside is that is the side that is parked up against the wall.Being a launch car and having its 20th anniversary soon probably giving me a hint to start using it again!Regards Ry...

Must have been waiting to break. Air pressure maybe?

They always break when moving off, especially if the car has been sitting or has had weight off the front end for a while.

Well worth fitting tyre protectors. I got a set for mine and had them both on in twenty minutes, including all cleaning and painting.
