I was rudely awoken by the crack of a broken spring on my trusty old daily commuter Skoda Superb mk.1 this week as it sat on the drive!
It's booked into my local garage a 6 mile drive away, they don't have a recovery truck or trailer. I'm thinking of driving it there - 5/6am when the roads are quiet, take it easy at 20mph, it's all through 30mph limit roads anyway.
I'm thinking I may just unbolt the bottom of the shock, let the broken spring fall out, and bolt it back on. I'm then driving on 3 springs (which it is currently anyway) but no chance of a broken spring fouling anything.
Would you, it's not ideal but there's no great risk if I'm driving slow and steady and the wheel isn't fouled by the arch or a broken spring, is there?
Any experiences of doing this - positive or negative?
It depends where it is broke, how much is broke and design of the spring platform as to what risks there might be.There may be almost none, or there could be high risk.I'm sure millions of cars are driving about today with broken springs and the owners will be blissfully aware, it's very very common.But with reference to the Picasso mentioned, some French cars do seem to have a dangerous design that encourages broken springs into the tyres.
