Last fall when half the lowest coil broke off the right front spring, I blamed my 18 year old. Although he is still not out of the woods (and hasn't driven the car since for going 100 to show off to his friends)last Friday, I heard the same rattle that drove me crazy before. This time I found about 3/4s of a coil broken off and rattling in the left front lower spring support. The way these are broken leads me to believe the metallurgy of the coils is bad (picture a green stick fracture) The break is almost an inch long!
Anyone else have this problem or see any recall info? Anyone have a line on LOW COST replacement springs, preferably thicker wire and lower. Car rides well and tire wear on the right side hasn't been a problem In fact lowering has improved cornering. (But I don't want to be in the car when a spring breaks in the middle.
