9-3SC Front Coil springs and while there..
Posted by Goping (# 838) (more from Goping) on Wed, 23 May 2012 08:34:06


My 9-3SC recently began clunking in the front suspension over hard bump and found the right coil spring broken while changing for summer tire.

My indy will do the job but I am looking for suggestions if it is worth to replace the front shock as well and other smaller parts like strut bearings while there.

So the specific model I have is a 2007, 60th Anniversary Edition with 75K Miles bought last summer and driven in snow and all funny weather we have here in Canada.

The suspension seem to perform well without much problem until the broken spring. I find the body clearance good since it is a bit higher than the Aero and i can consider to have maybe a little less clearance but not too much. So if other have some experience with some replacements spring(or package like sports springs or shocks kit(genuinesaab) i would like your feeling about it.

Also when i look at eeuroparts store i see Yellow/Orange ... Blue/Yellow Blue/Red code for the spring replacement and could not find what really is the difference. I am looking at different options since there seem to be some backorder to even get the OEM one maybe.

Thank very much in advance
