| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Front driver side coil springs failed causing vehicle control to be reduced. the spring failed after its first winding down from the top, it appears during compression the spring end contacts the winding below which probably induced a crack and ultimately propagated a stress failure. the part failed while backing out of a driveway with the steering wheel near full right turn. during the turn the spring failed. the passenger spring was also replaced and looked as failure was immanent based on a marks in nearly the same spot as the failed spring. the failed spring is currently in my possession. |
