Decided that id change my broken spring this morning.

Took all of about 5mins to change out and that included removing and replacing the shocker bolt

Question is do i replace the other side as its old or just leave it be???

One old one new make that much of a difference?

Defo change it Paul, especially if it's that easy to fit!

I did mine yesterday aswell, rears are a piece of cake, front's however take a little more time! good job it's the rears that snap hey!

Do both though, it's obvious they fatigue over time so the newer stiffer spring would put more stress on the older one accelerating the wear on it.

Always best to do suspension components in pairs, per axle.
