    Is it just me, or is this spring BROKEN?

    Probably been this way for thousands of miles. Noticed it today when (I thought) I was going to replace the rotors --- that'll have to wait it seems. Coating on the spring was already torn; I just peeled some more back to get a better look:



    Now, here's a closer look:



    And I haven't even peeked at the other side yet. Guess I'll be doing springs and shocks quicker than I thought.

      i was driving my car on springs like that for a while, it actually threw my camber off bad enough to wear the tire down unevenly.

            Now that (you all) mention it, my camber is off a little --- the insides of the tires are worn a little.

            Gee, all this time I've had "increased steering response" and never knew it. Broken springs = poor man's handling mod?

              Nope, sounds like you need an alignment

                Yea, that's definitely a broken coil spring. At least yours was visible. Mine in the rear was fractured at the top, where the "hat" mounts on top of the coil spring/strut setup. So I could not see it until I took it apart because I was suspicious it was broke and I was right.

                  Yup, common on accords to have a broken spring like that. Mine has it and I took it to my alingment guy who is a friend of mine and he said its effecting the car in no way at all. So....i left it. Haha
