A couple of questions about the failure mechanisms of coilovers while street-driving;
- While street driving your car, what are the symptoms you might get with a coilover failure?
- Is the coilover failure something that happens all at once, or does it start out small and get progressively worse?
- If you need to continue driving it while waiting for a part replacement, are there risks to the car that could be permanent?
- Is it faster or cheaper to get a replacement part rather than to repair a failed damper?
- If you are getting a damper repaired, could you replace it with the original spring temporarily while waiting for the repaired damper?
