FORD F-150 Super Crew — What to know
The F-150 is America's best-selling vehicle and has enormous aftermarket and independent workshop support. Parts are competitively priced and the truck's popularity means most mechanics are familiar with it. EcoBoost models (2.7T, 3.5T) have more complex maintenance than naturally-aspirated V6 or V8 alternatives.
What is this repair?
Plain-English overview
Coil springs support the vehicle's weight and absorb road impacts; a broken or sagging spring causes one corner of the car to sit lower, affects handling and can cause the tyre to contact the body. Springs are typically replaced in pairs per axle.
