Req advice on uk cherokee springs
 

Hi.

I need some advice on whats a good price to pay for my '96 cherokee (UK)
rear springs.
Instead of a nice 'smile', they are looking very unhappy and my cherokee has
a very 'drag-ass' look.

A local spring place has told me they only do heavy duty springs (standard
are special order!) and they are £100 each. plus VAT, which brings them to
£235 for the pair. (already bushed, but still have to fit them) This is
about $400 US.

Is this a fair UK price or are they just taking the whizz?

Thanks

Mike

Too much. Shop around.

Here's a place in Scotland that sells pairs of Old Man Emu (top notch
springs) for £195:

Imported and highest quality, so you should be able to find an even
better price on lesser springs. Have you tried a Jeep dealership?

I too have to replace my UK recently acquired Cherokee rear springs,
which are badly sagged in the wrong direction. The best quote I found
was from EDM Jeep in Bicester (Oxfordshire). I two a caravan, so am
getting the heavy duty ones. all the same price. I'm quoted £440 to
supply and fit the springs, with new bolts or whatever else is needed
down there. It was £350 for just the springs, fitted.

EDM Jeep is at http://www.edm-jeep.co.uk/ I'm in Reading, so about an
hours drive or so.

Let me know if you find out more, and how you get on please. Private
email is fine.

Thanks

I had a look at this site, and the price was indeed 195, but when vat is
added thats 229, not a whole lot in it. plus the place I found locally, i
can just pick them up in person (no shipping charge).
