Suspension Noise Problems of Mitsubishi Outlander

Left front of vehicle is vibrating/ jerking steering wheel side to side with what sounds like something rubbing hard enough to jerk car side to side. Making a banging noise when turning as though front suspension is broken. I see there is a recall for this issue. I purchased the Outlander from a dealership used and was told fixing the recalls wasn't their problem after signing paperwork. Unknown history as I was lied to about issues and salesman was fired. I believe this is a recall issue.

While backing out of the driveway and turning the steering wheel to enter the street, I heard a loud cracking sound and the sterring wheel jerked to one side. I returned to the driveway and later jacked up the car, removed the left front wheel and noticed the top spring of the driver's side suspension was broken.
