Coil Spring Installation & Ground Clearance
Replacement and upgrade of coil springs, including safe ground-clearance increases that keep geometry, driveshaft angles and braking behaviour correct.
We carry out this work at our own workshop at Nairobi CBD, Kirinyaga Road, behind Eagle Towers. Diagnosis comes first, the quotation is written, and you approve it before anything is replaced.
What this service involves
- Ride-height measurement at all four corners before any decision.
- Assessment of whether sagging is the spring, the damper or a tired mount.
- Fitting of standard or reinforced springs with matched dampers.
- Post-fit alignment and headlight aim check.
Symptoms that bring vehicles in for this work
- The rear sitting visibly lower than the front
- The vehicle grounding on speed bumps or rough access roads
- Tyres rubbing the arch liners under load
- A harsh crash through the rear when loaded
Components typically involved
- Coil springs
- Spring seats and insulators
- Matched shock absorbers
- Bump stops
When to have it inspected
Measure ride height whenever the vehicle starts grounding, and before fitting any accessory that adds permanent weight.
What to expect
Measurement and quotation on arrival; fitting and alignment normally completed within a day.
About the workshop
Mr Valentinus Auto Care Ltd has operated from Nairobi CBD, Kirinyaga Road, behind Eagle Towers since 2010. Every job starts with a road test and inspection, is quoted in writing with labour and parts listed separately, and is only carried out after you approve the quotation.
Parts are supplied as part of the work we carry out so that we remain accountable for both the component and the fitting.

Frequently asked
Will raising the vehicle affect handling?
A modest, correctly matched lift does not. An excessive lift without matched dampers and corrected geometry does, and we will say so rather than fit it.
Can I lift only the rear?
Only where the vehicle is rear-loaded. Otherwise it changes the rake and pushes the load onto the front suspension.
