Alfa Romeo is a quintessentially Italian carmaker known for the style and elegance of its sporty vehicles. In a 2008 episode of Top Gear, Hammond, Clarkson and May set out to prove that you can't be a proper petrolhead until you've owned an Alfa. The brand's iconic status also stretches beyond the small screen, with its cars appearing in a slew of blockbusters, including The Godfather, The Graduate, Octopussy and The Talented Mr Ripley.
At the 2022 Autocar Awards, the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio was named a future classic, earning praise for being "sublime to drive and beautiful to look at" - a statement that perfectly captures the spirit of the brand.
The Alfa Romeo 159 is a four-door saloon produced between 2004 and 2011, intended as an alternative to conventional models like the BMW 3 Series. It is also available as a ‘Sport Wagon' estate model with a maximum speed of 134.2 mph, achieving 0-60 in about eight seconds. At the 2006 European Car of the Year Awards, the 159 came in third place, and it won a design award at the Fleet World Honours ceremony that same year.
Car suspension features four coil springs, one for each wheel. They are designed to absorb shocks from the road, such as driving over a pothole or speed bump, and they work in conjunction with shock absorbers.
Eventually, coil springs become fatigued with age, which means they have endured many compression-extension cycles, causing the metal to become brittle. When this happens, it's time for a coil spring replacement. This job typically takes one to three hours for front springs and one to one and a half for rear springs.
A coil spring usually lasts between 60,000 and 90,000 miles. Signs you may need new springs include: excessive tyre wear, visible rust or corrosion on the springs, excessive leaning or swaying, compromised handling and worn or missing jounce bumpers. A rear or front coil spring repair is always done by replacing the springs; once the metal becomes brittle, it can't be repaired.
