Wait.... what? Your car isn't old enough to be that rusted out.... you would see rust along the rocker panels and fenders..... the front spring perches are rather beefy.

I'm gonna need pictures of this

And the spring sits on the control arm.... if it did..... fall out....... the car would immediately bottom itself out on that side. Fold the tire in and destroy all kinds of fun stuff......

Sooooo..... pictures.

You could try the search function for o2 sensors. Google is your friend too.

Holy crusty batman, it still looks like its firmly in place though. What is laying on the ground that makes you think the spring broke?

Top insulator is in place. I don't see how it's possible for bottom coils to snap and fall out with pressure from main spring.

Unless your control arm perch failed.

Going to need a better reference pic. I can see the shock mounting bolts dropping before that spring.

Is it all the paint that peeled off the spring laying under the car?

It's only an inch or two. What's the big deal?
