What do Coil Springs do on a Car?

Coil springs in your car are crucial to the success of the suspension system. These metal springs absorb shocks as the car travels, which allows for a smooth and comfortable driving experience. Through accidental damage or wear and tear their performance can diminish and create a ride which is too firm or bouncy. 

Other spring parts or components which may need to be replaced include the spring cap or spring shackle bush.

How to tell if you have a broken coil spring?

There are a few ways to tell that your coil springs are corroded, damaged or collapsed. 

These are:

• You'll hear banging and knocking noises when you drive over rough ground
• You'll notice that car sits down towards the corner where the spring coil is broken
• The car will be misaligned and it won't sit properly when driving

Is it Ok to Drive a Car with a Broken Spring?

No, definitely not. You should not drive with a broken or damaged coil spring. Your car will sit at an angle and put uneven pressure on your tyres causing them to wear quicker on that side. You won't be able to control your car as easily causing a hazard to other road users and pedestrians.
