So my moms tC was lowered in November of last year with lowering springs. She recently decided to change it and it was raised back by putting stock springs on. Now, on the drivers side the cv-joint and axle is blown. I am wondering if just the drivers side should be replaced or if both the drivers and passengers side should be replaced. The passengers side isn't blown yet but I am worried that it could.

 

Also, any suggestions if I end up replacing it for her?

 

I would replace both... just to save time and cost.... but that's just me =/

 

sell the springs and then fix both of them

 

Already sold the springs haha. I was just avoiding spending the 1000 on parts. Seeing if could possibly get by on just redoing the one side. I mean the car only has 45000 miles on it.

 

if you didn't put the stock spring back on then nothing would happen.

 

Had to put the stock springs. Didn't really have a choice with that but thinks for the random comment? Moving on. Anyone have anything of value to suggest?

 

Replace them both while you are under there- If the one side is trashed...I would bet the second isn't far behind.

 

Best to replace both. It will cost you more time and headache and maybe more money later. Dude above me makes a good point, 2nd one is probably not far behind.
