Jeep springs.

Guys, although i have never had one fail on me, should you renew your accelerator springs etc, once in a while, i have not heard of many of them breaking though. Your thoughts on this would be appreciated thanks. :D

It has to be rare for this spring to fail, I have not seen one break, but I have seen them missing for whatever reason. There are some accurate repros out there. Why not install a nice clean spring in its' original finish and enjoy something new under the bonnet? They can't be very expensive. :wink:
