Experienced mechanics share their insights in answering this question :
The time to replace the coil springs in the front of your Mazda will depend on what model your vehicle is and if your vehicle is front wheel drive, rear wheel drive, or four wheel drive. Most coil spring replacements usually run around 4 to 7 hours to replace both front springs, that is if you have the proper equipment. If you are replacing the struts, the time could be shortened by 1 to 2 hours. If you need further assistance with your coil spring replacement, then seek out a professional, such as one from Your Mechanic, to help you.

The short answer is, yes, the coil direction of your spring does make a difference. It won`t change the performance or lifespan of a spring, but it will determine if it will be able to be installed in specific types of products or applications.
Most heavy duty springs are shorter than standard springs so that the car does not sit too high when unloaded. How much stronger is a heavy-duty spring compared to a standard spring? Generally, heavy duty springs are 15-30% stronger than standard springs, depending on the vehicle.
Coil springs also help prevent the vehicle from bottoming out when loaded or during adverse driving conditions by working to maintain optimal ride height as determined by the manufacturer. Replacing the coil springs on a vehicle can have a dramatic impact on its ride and handling.
There is a wide range of coil springs available on the market, each with their own benefits. The manufacturer may utilise a number of spring designs for the same model; sometimes even two different springs on the same axle.
First, position the front coil so that the tip of the wire is at 12 o`clock. Then, check the direction in which the wire turns to make the first coil. If it goes clockwise, it`s a right-hand spring, if it coils counter-clockwise, the spring is left-handed.
Thicker wire or a narrower coil will make the spring rate higher, while thinner wire or a larger diameter coil will result in a weaker spring force.
The “compression” and “extension” names refer to the state in which the springs contain the most potential energy; compression springs have the most potential energy when they are compressed, and extension springs have the most potential energy when they are extended.
Wave springs are the ideal solution for tight radial and axial spaces. Wave springs providing the same force and deflection as a coil spring in up to 50% less space. Significant cost savings may be seen with a smaller, more light-weight assembly, as it takes less time and material to produce.
Over time, coil springs can lose their strength due to several factors such as fatigue failure, corrosion wear and tear, temperature changes and environmental factors. It is thus important to conduct regular maintenance checks to prevent this from happening.
They support the vehicle`s weight, and in so doing affect ride quality, ride height, wheel alignment, handling and even braking. But some technicians don`t take the time to “read” the springs because their focus is directed elsewhere. Springs need to be inspected every so often because all springs sag with age.
A healthy set of coil springs and shocks are unlikely to generate much noise, if any at all.
The coil spring, used in conjunction with a spacer, can change lift height (due to wear or a change in weight), but the spacer will never change height.
Three common types of coil spring designs are compression, extension, and torsion.
Upgrading springs is a great way to adjust ride height and stiffen up that suspension. These two factors alone will help plant more power to the ground and keep the car as straight as an arrow.
Some users consider an individually wrapped coil mattress softer than an innerspring mattress because the coils move independently, creating a more supported feeling. At the same time, a coil mattress is firmer than a memory foam mattress because it does not allow your body to sink into the bed.
The top coil of the new spring may be different in shape from the bottom coil. Be sure you insert it right side up. Compress the new spring with the spring compressor clamps, and place it on the lower wishbone. Make sure the bottom of the spring is seated properly.
Stainless Steel
Commonly used for springs, this material is ideal for settings where higher corrosion or heat resistance is a necessity. This steel alloy has a minimum of 10.5% chromium content and a maximum of 1.2% carbon content.
If enough creep occurs, the spring may deform so much that it is unable to collect sufficient potential energy to do its job. As a result, the spring is weakened, sometimes even to the point where it does not function at all and must be replaced.
If you make the wire diameter larger, you will make the spring stronger and if you make it smaller, you will make it weaker. This is because, by making the wire diameter larger, you are also making the spring`s coils tighter which reduces the spring index.
1) The faster the change (or speed of movement) of the magnetic field and the greater the change in the strength of the magnetic field, the greater the induced voltage. 2) The greater the number of windings in the coil, the greater the induced voltage.
It`s worth noting that there are different types of springs found within suspensions. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with these four classes of springs—coil springs, leaf springs, coil over springs, and lowering springs.
It`s possible, but tricky. Magnets aren`t a one-to-one replacement – magnets behave differently than springs. There are many of pros and cons using springy magnets in such situations. Magnets are more expensive than coil springs, but you can have them act across an air gap.
The two main drawbacks to a coil spring suspension are cost and load-bearing. Cost isn`t so much an issue if the vehicle is originally equipped with coil springs, however the retro-fits can be quite expensive and time consuming.
Do coil springs need to be changed when replacing the struts? The answer is no: if the spring is in a good shape, it can be re-used with the new strut.

front end making a constant squeaking noise. and when you hit a bump it feels like tire is going to fall off. and when you turn
ANSWER : Hi. There are multiple individual parts that could be causing the squeaking noise on your 2003 Toyota. In fact, the tie rods and shock mounts are leading candidates for causing the squeak (when you hit a hole) and the suspension being out of alignment as well. Before you have the front end aligned, you’ll have to replace all of the damaged components first. If you need assistance with this, contact one of our local mechanics and they can complete a front end inspection for you to pinpoint the source of the issues you’re experiencing.

Car will not move when I put it into gear!!
ANSWER : Hi there. It sounds like you have either a failed axle, failed transfer, or a failed transmission. The noise you described sounds like an axle that may have failed. If the joint part of the axle has failed and bearings have come out then the axle may just be spinning in the housing, but you would probably have noticed this unless the axle shaft has broken. This truly needs a qualified technician to perform an inspection to avoid replacing unnecessary parts. Your Mechanic has several available technicians that can assist you with a car does not move inspection.

Transmission is not responding when I put it in gear. All gears act like neutral.
ANSWER : Hi and thanks for contacting YourMechanic. It sounds like the pump pressure switch is overloading and causing a mass dump. Check the wiring harness to the transmission and see if there is power to the harness. If there is power, then check the pins on the transmission for continuity and see if any of the pins are really high. I recommend replacing the pump pressure switch in the transmission.
If you need further assistance diagnosing your vehicle, then seek out a professional, such as one from YourMechanic, to help you determine what is wrong with your transmission and replace the transmission oil pressure switch if needed.

went from starting quick to running like crap and sound like crap also has a small back fire noise like say B with ur lips silnt
ANSWER : Hello there. If the fuel tank is contaminated with debris, it should be either replaced or completely cleaned out. However, the problem with older fuel cells is they are metal, and likely have a lot of rust in the fuel cell; which will contaminate the fuel and lead to the "running like crap" issues. It is also possible that you have an exhaust leak which can create the same type of sound and backfiring problems.

Rattle coming from front end over bumps
ANSWER : Hi There,
Unfortunately, the video is a bit tough to hear the sound specifically, however this may potentially be caused by loose or worn wheel bearings. You can check this by jacking the vehicle up and moving the wheels on the hub. If there is excessive play in them, it may be time to replace the wheel bearings. A wheel bearing will usually fail due to pitting or small damage on the surface of the rollers or the bearing race. Bearing noise will always be dependent on vehicle speed meaning as you speed up or slow down the noise should change frequency or loudness. Cornering may affect the noise from a damaged front wheel bearing and is usually more pronounced as you make turns. I would suggest having a professional from Your Mechanic come to your location to diagnose and inspect your vehicle.

Every time i let go of the gas there is a squeaky sound coming from the front of the car like where the two front tires are?
ANSWER : When throttle is applied, power is transferred to the front wheels and the resulting torque adds pressure to the suspension system. The squeak can be coming from a suspension component at the front of the vehicle or the pedal itself. Hire an experienced technician, like one from YourMechanic, to diagnose the noise firsthand and see if a part need to be replaced or just needs a little extra lubrication.
