    Passenger side front suspension spring was found broken during a regular car maintenance. Springs on both side were replaced. I was informed by the service agent at the honda dealer that the rest of the suspension components were ok. However, about 2 months (and about 2000 miles) later, the passenger side strut broke. The entire passenger side front suspension assembly was replaced. *tr
