dude from what you have posted your spring is still intact. Post a pic of what is laying on the ground.

In 30+ years of working on these cars, I have NEVER seen a spring pop out. In fact, you have to wrestle them out with a pry bar even after releasing the pressure from the spindle, shock, tie rod, etc.

I don't think anyone wanted a pic of the spring in the car, rather, whatever fell out onto the ground. I would think it is a lot harder to take a pic of the spring in car than to take a pic of whatever fell out. I'm confused.

I really have to say that this forum has some of the most helpful, considerate and (most importantly) patient members of any forum I've ever frequented. This guy would have been receiving much worse reactions inside of the first two pages on just about any other forum.

Just back the car up a few feet. You'll know in the first 2inches of travel if that's a good idea or not.

Did the rear spring fail? and it just happened to bounce up to the front of the car? Now I'm curious.

Both front springs do curve, that's normal. They don't really sit in the perches completely straight

Actually, now that I look at that picture, it does appear the bottom two coils are touching at an odd angle.


Rockauto.com sells replacement springs in pairs for $50. Should take a shop 1-2 hr tops to change it out. Hopefully they don't gouge you too badly

Clearly not rust related. That would be due to a manufacturing defect in the spring on the day it was made. Over time, the spring fatigued as it was cycled and yesterday was the lucky day.
