Quite common on a number of different makes/models nowadays - they don't make them like they used to.

We have fleets of outlanders and road springs are not their strong point !

MAD make complete spring kits for these or if its just rears that sag MAD make rear spring assisters that really help, especially if you carry a weight or tow. They are progressive springs.

Just google MAD spring assisters! I have used them for years.

Broken springs are becoming more common. My MoT tester was telling me he sees several a week.

It's a combination of cost reduction at manufacturers (forced onto suppliers) which compromises quality and a deterioration in the road surfaces.
