Gary,
All
springs have a finite life, that is one day they will break. How long this
life is depends on their use, the loads they have been asked to carry, the
roads driven on, how the vehicle and suspension are maintained.
Any
leaf that is broke at the axle shows that the u-bolts have become loose.
And once one leaf breaks other leafs will also began breaking.
Can
a broken leaf cause an accident? Yes it can. Depending on which leaf it is
and where it breaks and does the broken leaf stay in the spring pack or
not. So don't mess around, replace broken springs ASAP.
But
I would say if you have put 230,000 miles on the springs, they don't owe
you a thing. Be a nice guy and replace them.
Now
if you carry a load on a regular basis, you may want to go with Heavy Duty
springs. Don't worry about the ride height when you do not have the extra
weight in the car for the HD springs are designed to sit the car at normal
factory ride height.
New
springs for your ride are 429.00 and the Install Kit, which has the front
eye bolts, u-bolts, shackles and bushing, is 59.95. One kit does both
springs.
