    As best we can determine (based on noise) the coil springs failed while parking at low speeds. Not knowing what had happened the car was used at highway speed for a short trip following this. It pulled hard to alternating sides (right and left). Car was immediately taken to repair where we were advised we are lucky not to have had the spring puncture the tire at highway speed. Car has been repaired at cost of $850.…
