| The driver's side upper coil-spring mount tore away from the body structure, ejecting the coil spring and bushing, collapsing the front suspension and rendering the car immobile. the car was parked at the time so no collision. if the car was moving at the time of the failure there would be no way to steer it. due to estimated repair cost of $1500-2000 versus resale value, the car was sold as-is and towed away. *tr | |||
