Villager

  • miles
I parked my van, 1998 Mercury Villager on the street in front of my home. Two days later, I noticed the front right tire was flat. I had four new tires since Jan 2011. When I lifted up the front right and tried to remove the fr tire, it would not come off. After a while, I noticed the strut coil spring got broke, and the shape end of broken coil spring pierced thru. The inside side wall of the tire. I am the original owner of this van, and bought new. It has `150,000 miles on it. This incident could have been turned out be a very serious accident if it happened while I was driving at 70mpg. I do a lot of highway driving. Both front right and left complete strut assemblies were replaced and the flat tire was replaced with new one. I took some pictures and have the sharp end of broken coil spring.
