broken coil

[New recaros]

We all need to inspect our springs for our own safety.

i seem to remember this happening on a couple of gen1 trucks also..

seems odd that all these failures are stock shocks, with no lift collars.. just imagine how many failures didnt post of this forum also...

everyone should switch to eibachs or aftermarket coilovers

So let’s all totally void our warranties. I’ll pass and let Ford figure out a solution.

changing shocks does not void your warranty, except on the shocks.

the only warranty i ever really cared about was the powertrain and thats out now.. you'd rather crash off the highway to preserve the warranty?

obviously there must be a common theme among the trucks..

Broken coil on Fox suspension

Hello everyone. I’m new here and I’m very close to pulling the trigger on this 2014 Raptor. I had the salesman send me some pics of the underside, and after closely reviewing it It seems like the last ring of this coil on the front driver side strut of the truck is cracked. The salesman doesn’t...

GEN 1 - Coil spring failed

From what I can tell the coil isn't rusted anywhere around just where it sheared. How does this happen? This truck has seen extremely light duty.

I’ll let Ford pay for it. I think proper inspection will prevent an accident.
I think it is broken for a period of time until it work hardens so bad it just snaps under normal load.
The visual inspection should look for geometry differences. Is there a flat spot, distance between coils change etc….

Good luck with that

Gotta agree with this. No service department is going to take off your springs and inspect them per your request. It is hard enough to get them to replicate known issues when taking the truck in.

Not Ford, do it yourself each time you wash it. Simple visual inspection.

Gotcha. I thought you meant a proper inspection from all angles. While I can go and look at my coils right now, I am only seeing maybe 30-40% of each one. I guess something is better than nothing though.

It looked like they were breaking about the same spot just past the retainer or seat.
Im just not willing to void any change of Ford covering it by spending 7-800 on new springs. When we see rust, there is a good chance we could catch it before it completely fails.
