Consumer Description

2002 MERCURY SABLE. 40K MILES. FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE COIL SPRING FAILED (BROKE) WHILE BACKING CAR FROM DRIVEWAY. SPRING FAILURE CAUSED RUPTURE OF FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE.

THERE DID NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY CORROSION ON THE BROKEN COIL SPRING. THE PAINT WAS INTACT, THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF PITTING OR BUBBLING, AND THE STEEL LOOKED LIKE A CLEAN BREAK. *TR
