Consumer Description

I PLACED MY CAR IN REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY WHEN I HEARD A SWOOSH AND THE FRONT OF THE CAR DROPPED. I GOT OUT AND NOTICED I HAD A FLAT TIRE. I REMOVED THE TIRE AND FOUND PART OF THE COIL SPRING ON THE GROUND AND A WHITE CAP. AFTER REMOVING THE LUG NUTS THE TIRE WAS STUCK TO THE REMAINING COIL SPRING. I TWISTED THE TIRE OFF THE COIL SPRING AND FOUND THE COIL SPRING HAD BROKE IN TWO. THE STRUT ASSEMBLY AND THE SWAY BAR LINKAGE WAS BROKEN AS WELL. I AM SURE THERE MAY BE MORE DAMAGE ONCE I GET THE CAR TOWED TO A GARAGE. I AM GLAD I WAS NOT DRIVING AT ANY SPEED WHEN THIS HAPPENED.*TR
