    Coil Springs

    Hi all, I snapped a coil spring on the drivers side and purchased duralast springs from Autozone, had the dealer install, now the front sits so much higher than before large gap between the wheel well, the install tech advised that when he was installing the springs he noticed that they were thicker and stiffer than the factory ones he was pulling out and since one was snapped i had no choice at the time. I Just want the factory look and Motorcraft does not make a Spring for the car. The factory ones from the dealer are BIG$$$$$, I am afraid that if I keep trying aftermarket ones I'll run in to this problem again. Can anyone recommend an after market spring that sits the same height that they used. Thank you in advance. Dave

    Or you can cut a coil or so off the new springs to lower it down to the original height.

    I would try www.car-part.com or check with Blackmobile. He is selling parts off his totalled rustfree MM.
    (#6178 in black per FPIC)
    Call 1-800-FORD-788 and press "1". Have the last 6 of your VIN handy. You will get the numbers for FREE. You'll pay $$$ for the certificate.

    MM traded in 8/9/13 @ 128909 miles. It was fun for almost 8 years. I met airmercpun on 1/17/14. He was the new owner of my former ride. -Now gone.

    Update: back in the game with a late build 03 GMGS with some MM add ons like Escape audiophile radio w/Sirius sat radio, rear sway bar, catback exhaust, and header panel.

    See my garage file for part numbers and whatnot.

    IMHO, this site- the members that I chat with- and the ones that I now Hang with- are like my 2nd family. There is such an ongoing welcome feeling here that even members who don't or no longer own the MM can feel.
