    I have had both front springs break over time. They break about 2" from the bottom end and just lay in the strut next to the spring. This doesn't cause much drama because the bottom end of the spring is still well supported. Am I alone on this issue??

    The problem with the original plug is that I don't have an X sloted driver that will apply enough torque to satisfy me that it is tight. At least it hasen't fallen out YET
