    rear springs and MOT

    I have just changed the rear springs on the astra because the car failed on a broken one.

    the new springs were a different shape (non vaux) and i have the bigger coils at the bottom, now its knocking

    She is back in tomorrow for retest, will she go through as the springs are in there ?
    I can change them at the weekend.
    I haven't failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work

    Can't tell until we see some pics I guess... If it is ruining the drive it'll probably not pass. Even if it is raising suspicions it may not pass...
    When advanced technology fails you need advanced personell using advanced tools and equipment to find advanced solutions... Somehow in either of these matters it keeps going wrong??!?

    Are the two coils touching at the bottom?

    What car is it?

    the 2 coils are touching at the bottom, and she's just passed the MOT!!

    Astra SXI 1.6.
    Should the closer coils be at the top ?
