From the 2012 MOT manual:
2.4 Suspension - General C. Coil Springs
Where a coil spring is incomplete, cracked or fractured at an extreme end where the spring locates on the spring mount, it should only be rejected if:
- the function of the spring is impaired
- following jacking, the spring ends do not locate correctly when the vehicle is lowered into the normal running position without assistance
These criteria should also be applied to springs that have been deliberately shortened or modified in order to lower the suspension.
:grinning: Excellent.
