Rear Coil Spring Issue

Featured Replies

You can probably buy direct from them, do a google search as they may not have the calipers listed at the moment.

This thread has put me right off attempting my own rear spring replacement!

Will be doing mine tomorrow if the parcel arrives then putting the old ones (in perfect condition but I wanted stiffer for towing) on my neighbours 2010 Octavia next week, its been dragging its ar5e like a dog with worms :D

Can you take some measurements as to how far the wishbone mounting hole is from the hub mounting hole when the springs (both old and new) are relaxed?

It may be useful for people in the future reading this thread.

I will try to remember, mine is a Yeti but uses the exact same springs, neighbours is an Octavia.

IIRC the spring near enough falls free when the wishbone is disconnected at the outboard end so the distance is purely related to spring length.
