Humm,


I was not aware of it being a general problem- go to know. If they are designed and manufactured correctly-springs have an infinite life.
Ok- maybe resonance problem causing failure...

Look at the broken spring when it's out. See if the striations from the cracking start at a point(ie they should start somewhere and get courser and look fresher). That would be a way to see if it is a manufacturing defect.
