This past weekend we were on a drive and I heard what sounded like a kicked up rock hitting my fuel tank. Then after driving later, the car made a clunking noise we we drove it. I investigated things and my driver's side rear coil spring snapped. I lost at least one coil, possibly more. It's seated and drivable, but I need a replacement part.
Is it best to install these in pairs? Also, where can I get them online. I checked all the normal VW parts suppliers and none of them stock coil springs for a 98 TDI Beetle. I need some help locating a pair cheaper than the dealership.
Are the rear springs easy to remove and replace? Do I need a set of spring compressors to get them in and out?
Thanks for any info.
This is what I'm currently up against:
