Could be 500 miles. Could be 500,000. As long as they always stay within their operating limits as far as stress and temperature, they should last longer than the life of the car. Springs are relatively cheap, though, so many times it makes the most sense to just go new. Good luck.

I was told springs pretty much never wear out unless they crack, etc. 76k is no big deal. The going rate is about $100/set + shipping.
