Can you replace the springs on these? Or do you have to buy a whole new assembly later?

yes. the cap has a screw to remove spring from guide-rod. change springs and use 1 guide-rod.

Nope ! Its not possible ! I have some little springs and holes just on the right side, where they fit. Maybe with new parts!

I've not had problems with the springs on my money clips, so I don't know if parts are available. I suggest you send a question to the manufacturer; I would start by googling the website for First Alert. I did a quick search and saw a varitey of options, including firstalertstore.com -- the store may be able to help you with spare parts. I noticed that at least one other reviewer mentioned problems with the money clips breaking. I'm not certain if this issue is a function of a product flaw, or if the springs just need to be treated delicately (which would be an unfortunate product limitation in any case), but I've not had the problem yet. Good luck!

You don't need to waste money on the whole assembly, the actuator motor has burned out. Just replace it for under $7 like I did. Just order "Mabuchi FC-280PT-20150 Door Lock Motor" or equivalent. The dealership quoted me over $400 to fix my rear hatch by the way!

You don NOT have to get new springs for the front. These will lower the rear. IF you want to lower the front, you can buy the lowering springs, or shorten the existing springs.

Very easy. all you need is a ballpoint pin to push the spring down then pull the old ones off. then push the new ones on.

No not from Amazon or company that made this kit. This leaves you with two choices: send it back or order another one. I was told there is a company that makes these type of springs. Good luck. Sorry I could not be more help.

They can be replaced using the original u-bolts but it is a real stretch to do so, an additional 3/4" to 1" would be a real help. I did replace mine using the original bolts but it was one helluva chore and took mucheffort and many tries to get the nuts started.

The instructions in the manual should make it clear. I remember I had to use a little force with the springs.

This is a complete kit w/ spring. I would change both however because it does have the spring

Amazon sold my springs as a pair and I've never seen them sold any other way so I'd say yes. I've since upgraded to the heavier series, however. They are holding up well but the lighter series sagged after a few months of occasional hauling. I don't recommend running them anywhere near their rated capacity.

If it currently has shocks, I'd replace themIf not you will need the entire kit.

Please do not stretch the springs. They are factory set to a high tolerance. you will cause the device to work incorrectly and likely fail the annual inspection.

Yes, they do include the springs. They are also all plastic as compared to the metal ones I got at the big box hardware store but you can't tell the difference when they are up. They are a great deal...!

they are not quick struts . you have to use spring compressor to install the new ones.

yes just unscrew them. Make sure that you put it back together the samne way you took it apart.

Just reuse the old ones you never really need new springs I used the old ones with new struts and it was great
