| The control arm on the 123 is a strong steel forging, never breaks.
The springs on these cars can break or snap off from rust, wear and old age, they dont get saggy like on other cars.
Well, when you've driven these cars for some years you know the sound a broken spring makes :-)
Usually a broken spring is no safety hazard, just a piece in the end brakes off..
I usually get this problem on rear springs, drive a lot with loaded car. |
