Consumer Description

REAR COIL SPRING BROKE SOMETIME DURING 2006 OR 2007 WHICH CAUSED THE REAR END OF CAR TO SAG AND VEHICLE DID NOT HANDLE AS WELL AFTER WORDS. DURING THE SUMMER OF 2008 MY CAR SLIDE OFF THE HIGHWAY WHILE DRIVING 50MPH DURING A RAIN STORM. I ALWAYS WONDERED IF IT COULD HAVE BEEN DUE TO THE BROKEN COIL SPRING. LUCKILY I WASN'T HURT AND THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT BECAUSE I SLIDE INTO A GRASSY FIELD. THIS FALL 2009 I REPLACED THE REAR STRUTS AND SPRINGS AND NOW MY VEHICLE HANDLES MUCH BETTER. *TR
