| I was turning on to my street when i heard avery loud bang and my car stopped immediately. as i sat there in shock it appeared that my car was tilted down on the left side. i got out of my car and sure enough it was leaning. the body of my car was resting on the top of the tire. since i couldn't drive it i called a tow truck and had it towed to a garage to be looked at. after my car was inspected for the reason for the bang i was told that the front coil spring was broken in two places. also, the sway bar was broken and the front strut mount and bearing were broken. what could i do but have the repairs made. i had two new front coil springs put on (i wasn't taking any chances with the other spring), a new sway bar, a new strut mount and bearing put on at a cost of $444.64. i had just come off of the highway where the speed limit is 65 mph. if the spring would have broken there, i shudder to think what the outcome would have been. i still have the broken spring. it still has the protective coating on it. so corrosion could not have been a factor. *nm | |||

| Passenger-front tire received an impact in an accident. this hit was a side-crash where only the tire and a small area of the outside framing above the wheel were damaged. the air bags did not deploy. the truck sparked and ignited on impact. the truck was in full flames in the tire and engine area within 9-11 minutes. the fire burned out the center portion of the windshield, the entire engine area, the dashboard/glove compartment, and the tire area within that time frame. i was moving at approximately 10 mph when the other driver colided with my truck at approximately 40-45 mph; the weather was cloudy/rainy but it had not rained yet during my morning travel. the air | |||
