Hi all,
Long time reader, first time poster
• I have a 2006 Jetta (2.5L) that I discovered has a broken coil spring on the front right side.
• About 9 months ago, I replaced the full strut assembly (including coil) on the front left side.
• However, I failed to also replace the coil on the right side.
• As a result, I think this contributed to the broken spring on the right side (along with all the winter pot holes).
I was wondering if you experts out there could tell me if I now need to replace the full strut assembly on the right hand side, or if I need only replace the coil? As I'm sure you can appreciate there's quite a price difference between these option (about $373CAD for just the coil/mounts vs. $687.12CAD for the full strut assembly).
Thanks!
DD
