Do new rear coil springs (2001 Taurus) need to be "broken in"?

Could be....I assume that ford checked out the suspension, & all other parts were good. You were used to the "soft" ride w/the old springs....You will get used to the Firmer ride, & the springs will soften after a month or two.

yes like mike S. said you were so used to driving the car with bad springs that you got used to the ride. now the new springs make it alot firmer which is a good thing. your shocks are not bad if the shocks were bad it would not ride rough it would ride smooth but have alot of bounce to it. and yes there is a possability that it will get better as the springs adjust to the spring mount.

um buddy, just an idea, you should really just look at gett'n a GMC, because ford, well ford just SUCKS! you will always have problems with the fords, specialy the taurus, i had one, and after a small periode of time, everything went wrong on it, soon, you will be spending more money on that car then its acctually worth, and seeing that you are still under warrenty, then you should prolly sell the car befor the value of it is next to nothing, and buy yourself a GM!

Yes, it's possible that they will "settle." On the other hand, your shock absorbers could be worn and allow the springs to over bounce. Push down on the car on the back and the release it, it shouldn't bounce more than once.

you probably have worn shocks or struts. if the springs were bad, the shocks were put under extra stress. go have them changed and you should be fine. check to make sure the aie pressure in the tires is correct as well. overinflated will make the vehicle ride rough as well.

That is the bigist load of crap I have ever heard. Ask them how you "break in a spring". I would call them on their BS and make them fix it right.

Just drive it don't think about it
