Hi there

I recently failed my mot due to my front 2 shock absorbers being worn out . I found a couple of replacement ones on this site.

My question is do I need to get the coil spring aswell or should I just get the shock absorber on there own

Kind Regards

If your springs are fine just buy new dampers.

As said above, if springs are fine then just refit them. Personally, I would fit new strut top mounts and bearings.

They’re probably alright anyway, just take it to a different mot station and save the agro

No I can actually feel the car losing stability as it goes over a bump on the road

Just change the struts if you have a small knock over bumps from the front it may be top mounts drivers side normally replaced my top mount twice now put a honda part on hope it lasts longer easy job
