Default rear coil spring

Hi All, I need both rear coil springs on a 2005 ford 500 awd.
I was told that they are discontinued. There has to be another coil spring that could work. Does anybody know how I would go about getting the measurements and info needed on these springs?
This would be really rotten if they don't make the spring for this car.
Mechanic said it is causing rear tire wear. He said he tried to find them but to no avail.

Not sure if it has struts back there or just coil springs.
Complete strut assys may be easier to locate.

Hi hanky,
The mechanic said that just replacing the struts won't do anything. The rear end is sagging which is causing "excessive wear" on a part for the alignment.
He said to me to just try rotating the rear tires for even wear. I read were other people with other cars like,Montego,Freestyle and some others are having the same problem finding springs. Someone suggested to get the info of the springs and have them made.
I would think that even another spring from another car or even a truck may work.


Ok I see, you mean the whole assy. Yes I will have to check on that. Thanks
