Hello all, last week my ten-year-old Peugeot with 75tkm broke the spring of a front shock absorber. Fortunately over the weekend in a stand, at 120 km/h on the highway this would probably have run out of fatal, because due to the design the spring has slipped over the position up/next to the tires and would have slit it in driving and/or blocked it… I did a little research, tenor is probably: Happens at ~100tkm times, especially with the French people and the VW group. It can’t be foreseen before the damage occurs. In the usual cover list on the Internet, the shock absorber springs don’t show up. Super. Question: How can I make sure that it doesn’t put me in danger of life by failure of safety-critical parts? How do all the old/youngtimers survive? Are there extended lists when you should change which parts (BEFORE they break)? Or does it just help everyone a few years to buy a new car? thank you, Andreas
