94-97 Accord - How long do front springs usually last?
I have a 97 accord with 140K miles. I am wondering how long do the
stock springs last before needing to be replaced. I recently replaced a set of worn Michelin X-ones with a set of Goodyear Assurance Comfortreds which have received rave reviews for a smooth and quiet ride. The ride however didn't meet expectations. So after finding worn and deteriorated rubber damper mounts, I had them replaced. The ride did improve significantly for a while (perhaps while the rubber was wearing in). Now when I go over bumps, highway expansion strips, the impact is quite harsh. I don't want to keep playing the game of trial and error and just randomly replace suspension components. I did replace my stock struts with a set of Monroe Sensatracs about 50K ago. 50K on a set of aftermarket struts seems within their usefull life, so I have a tough time believing they could be the cause. Although I did spend the past 2 years in Michigan (with potholes from hell) Some have suggested that the springs should be replaced. They do squeek when I go over some speed bumps. This is why I am asking how long they typically last and is there ways to test specifically for worn springs. Thanks |
