Bad Coil Springs?

pathfinder4x4vans@gmail.com

How can I tell if my coil springs are worn out?

     One way to check the coil springs ability to support the weight of the vehicle, is to remove one of the track bars. This will allow the remaining track bar to  center the axle. Before removing the track bar, take some measurements. Measure and record the distance from the bump stop to the top of the axle housing. Then remove one of the track bars. You may need to drive it around the  block  and give the suspension a chance to settle. Then, remeasure again. If the change in measurement is substantial, replace the coils. Or if you have 150,000 plus miles on the OEM Pathfinder coils it wouldn't hurt to change  them

Shown is the left side bump stop barely 1/4 inch above the axle tube, not a ggod sign. There should be at least 1 to 1-1/2 inch gap.
