Consumer Description

THE REAR COIL SPRINGS ON THE 2002 FORD EXPLORER FELL APART! PIECES OF THE COIL ARE BREAKING APART WITH RAZOR SHARP EDGES. I'VE NEVER SEEN SPRINGS FALL APART LIKE THIS,THE METAL HAS TO BE DEFECTIVE. I HAVE FOUND PARTS OF THE COILS IN MY DRIVEWAY, SO I'M SURE THERE HAS TO BE SOME COMING OFF ON THE ROAD. I HAVE PICTURES IF YOU WOULD LIKE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.*AK
