Struts replacement, but what about the springs?

[Mr Smurf]

Hi

I will replace my struts this weekend. But how often should the springs be replaced?

The milage is 100 000 miles or 160 000 km.

Hi Mr Smurf
If the springs have not sagged and show no signs of corrosion etc then I would not change them. Any manufacturing defects would have shown up long ago so your springs will probably last indefinitely
I know the working enviroment is very different but just imagine how many cycles the engine valve springs have gone through - and you would not consider changing them.
