Some very basic suspension questions.

I've got a 2013 AC 5 lug with 111K miles.

I got it in 2020 with 68K miles and I haven't changed anything on the suspension, front or rear, since I've had it. I doubt the previous owner did either. So I guess it's all original factory.

Lately the ride has been getting harsher, more so the front than the rear.
If I'm replacing the front strut should I replace the coil spring too?
Besides the front strut/coil, is there anything else that could cause a rough ride I should check?

I'm also going to change the rear shocks.

 

Check for any worn out bushings are ball joints too. But you shouldn’t need to change the coils just the shocks.

 

Just sounds like the shocks are wearing out. As noted double check the ball joints and both upper and lower control arm bushings for wear but I'd guess it's jus the shocks wearing out. When I got my dad's 05 I noticed that the suspension was pretty sloppy but since I was changing everything to lower it I didn't care. Discovered that at 42K miles the rear shocks wear completely gone. I suspect it was more due to age than wear though.

If you are in the Socal area I have a set of Gabriel rear shocks that have a whole 200 miles on them that I ran temporarily while I was waiting on my Vikings to be built. You're welcome to them.

 

Thanks for the offer but I'm in NY.

 

Lol Yeah that might be a little far.
