Mylo2912 Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Hello,A quick bit of advice needed please. My car was on JOM coilovers when I bought it. Last weekend I took the adjuster rings out on the rear to drop it lower. Looks good. The car is currently in the garage for a CV Joint replacement.My problem is, while they had the car on the ramps the back axel dropped and a rear spring fell out. I've been advised that this will be a MOT failure. MOT not due til april.Has anyone else come across this issue before? Is there a way of bonding the top of the spring to the body, or will this just creak.Thanks for your help, sarcastic humorous responses welcomed.

Silver! Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Some have used cable ties (possibly metal ones) to hold the springs in their seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T3LLIOTT Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 This happens to me when I jack my car up (custom rear springs). Use a couple of plastic cable/zip ties to hold them in place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mylo2912 Posted October 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Thanks for your help guys. A simple and cheap fix. I was thinking of fixing the tops and hadn't though of fixing the bases down. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
