Rear coil spring broken (rr).
Exiting the highway there was a loud pop from the front drivers side wheel well. Believed I had hit something but there was nothing in the mirror. Sound continued when the wheel was turned from hard left to hard right. Jacked car to see if something was stuck behind tire and when weight was lifted from suspension spring which was broken shifted and made contact with tire. If I had hit a bump when/or after spring broke it would have punctured tire causing lose of control.
Broken front and rear coil spring. Eeded to replace with new front and rear coil springs.
