Found both front coil springs broken in half following a noticeable deterioration of ride quality over the past several months. My mechanic had to replace both front coil springs, struts, and sway bars in order to repair the vehicle and noted that the break on the right coil spring was approximately a half inch from the tire potentially resulting in a punctured tire.
