I heard a loud metal clang in the front of my car when I was backing up in my driveway. I took the car to the dealer and the tech performed inspection and found driver front spring broken and bearing dropped to middle of strut. Front springs, upper mounts, and bearings replaced.

The right front tire exploded while driving straight ahead at 40 mph. Hankook tires. Nothing was struck and the tires had no previous damage. Smooth city street.
