Title: Coil springs
Post by: GREENYORKIE on 27 March, 2020, 09:49:56 PM

While checking over a 2012 1.4 Delta for its' MOT we discovered both front coil springs had fractured at the first coil at the bottom end.The EPER part no. is 50709043 and much to my surprise they appear to be virtually unobtainable from the usual online sources.The Chrysler Delta forum says they are obtainable from Fiat, but at a price!Another of the posts talks about the springs from one of the Bravo range being suitable but doesn't say which one.Has anyone here had to source front springs and if successful from where.It seems ridiculous to me that considering the age and number of these cars made the springs are so hard to come by.

I just had to replace my near side rear one, which had broken at 94,500 miles.  It was an OE part at £62.46.
