Broken coil springs are becoming more and more common, especially in winter, thanks to an increased amount of speed bumps on European roads.

Increased use of corrosive agents in winter road grit can also lead to more pot holes on our roads.

A decrease in original equipment coil spring size, as vehicle manufacturers look to save weight on many applications, when combined with extreme winter temperatures can cause spring metal to fatigue and break.

During a cold winter, technicians can expect the amount of coil spring jobs to increase by up to 30%.

KYB recommends always checking every car for coil spring damage, and always replacing in pairs.
