Coleraine has excellent road and transport links, connecting it to Belfast (55 miles away) and Derry (30 miles away). It is served primarily by the A29 and A26 roads. Dunluce Castle is a short drive away and well worth a visit if you're in the area. Since Coleraine is near the popular Causeway Coast tourist route, roads may get congested during the summer due to more visitors passing through. The train station and Ulsterbus depot share facilities on Railway Road.

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.
