How can you tell if your front springs and/or struts have passed their serviceable life (stock FE2, ~152k kms)? The reason I ask is that there is a little hump & depression in my driveway & as I negotiate these, sounds like the front bar is possibly bottoming (& this is at loooow speed ie 1km/h!) as i go through. Springs or struts?

springs will slowly sag over time.

strut... push down on the corner, let it rebound then watch what it does... oscillation = knackered!!! (or better, take to pedders and they'll check)

Yeah Erik I agree with Al, just take it to Pedders for their $15 (there abouts) saftey check.
