Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2003 FORD TAURUS. WAS LEAVING MY PARKING LOT THE OTHER DAY WHEN SUDDENLY I HEARD A LOUD CLUNK AND FELT THE CAR LOWER IN THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE. LUCKILY, I WAS ONLY ABOUT A BLOCK FROM HOME SO I IMMEDIATELY TURNED AROUND AND PARKED IT. UPON INSPECTION, I NOTICED THE SPRING HAD COMPLETELY SNAPPED OFF THE STRUT AND TOOK OFF A GOOD CHUNK OF MY TIRE. I'M GOING TO ATTEMPT TO CHANGE IT BUT SHOULD I TAKE PICTURES JUST IN CASE? I'VE HAD SPRINGS CRACK BEFORE ON OTHER CARS BUT NEVER ANYTHING LIKE THIS. LAST TIME I PURCHASE A FORD. *TR
