Is it time to replace front strut coil spring 200 1989

'89 wagon---This may sound a bit strange, but before you change the springs, look at all the bolts that have to do with your suspension including the "a frame". My drivers side front end was "drooping" in front and turned out I had a very loose bolt-at the "end" of the a frame. it's a bolt about 8-10 inches long maybe 5/8 ' thick, has a nut and washers on the thread end ( i know, its supposed to be metric)--and it was about 1/2 way out. i had other loose supension related bolts also in front. Once they were all tightened properly, the "drooping" was gone. Not to say that's your issue, but doesn't hurt to check it out. A few of the bolts that hold on the anti-sway bar at either end were loose also. I guess I gotta check them out periodically. BTW-The brick also rides more solid now.
