RE: trunk springs

Never seen any go bad. It's all in how you install them. They are adjustabe for tension

Play with it some. Do you notice how my left one is on the rear notch, and the right one is on the front notch? Also, notice how they are criss-crossed in the middle. That is what creates the tension.
