THIS WINTER I HAD MY RIGHT FRONT STRUT SPRING BREAK AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND THE SPRING WENT RIGHT THROUGH MY TIRE. THE NOISE SOUNDED LIKE AN EXPLOSION AND SCARED ME TO DEATH!

I AM ALSO GOING TO CHECK THE BACK TIRES BECAUSE MY CAR SITS AT A FUNNY ANGLE AND I WOULD GUESS THE THE SPRING ON THE LEFT REAR IS ABOUT TO BREAK. *TR
