2005 S80 Missing Caliper Spring

Post by misun »

I had my rotors and pads replaced a few months ago and just recently heard a metal scratching noise coming from my front driver's side tire. I took both front wheels off and saw that the caliper spring was missing from the front passenger's side. There weren't any scratches inside the tire so I think the shop might have forgotten to put the spring back on (as opposed to it breaking while driving).

I'm headed off on a long road trip next week and want to replace the part before I leave. Does anyone have advice for where to buy a good spring? I ordered a Duralast set from Autozone but don't know if I should look at EEuroparts instead which has a one-year warranty versus Autozone's three month warranty.

All of them seem to work fine . Local auto parts ones are fine.

If it fits tight then you will have no problem and also you can check them on regular bases as you wash your car or if you are after genuine parts you can order it on fcp euro and you will get lifetime warranty.
