Default Springs

Do they lose their spring rate over time?
The back of my car has become really loose and the nut to tighten the spring is taking far more turns than I'm used to.
The car was spinning out mid corner and I think the pod had become so loose the chassis was hitting the floor and snagging.

they doe loose there tension over time, make sure when your not using it to keep the wheels off the floor, i store mine on a piece of sponge, also it stops you getting flat spots in the foams. hope this helps

That makes sense. Mine is almost under pressure squeezed in my hauler draw with the body on!
Time for a reshuffle in the draw ready for the new springs.
Thanks
