SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS
THIS VEHICLE IS USED MOSTLY AROUND TOWN AND IS WELL TAKEN CARE OF INCLUDING FREQUENT WASHINGS. THERE WAS ABSOLUTLEY NO WARNING OF ANY TYPE PRIOR TO FAILURE. THE SPRING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT STRUT BROKE, AND A JAGGED PORTION LODGED INTO THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE, COMPLETLEY DESTROYING IT. THE SIDE OF THE CAR DROPPED CONSIDERABLY. THIS ALL OCCURED WHILE THE CAR WAS AT REST IN MY GARAGE. THE CAR HAS LOW MI. AND NO RUST, THIS INCLUDES THE SPRING. MERCURY REFERED ME TO A DEALER TO HAVE THE SPRINGS REPLACED, NOTING THAT THEIR COVERED TO 150,000MI. I WAS TOLD TO SUBMIT A RECIEPT FOR POSSIBLE RE-IMBURSEMENT FOR THE DAMAGED TIRE AND TOWING. (THE CAR WAS UNDRIVEABLE) I KEPT A PIECE OF THE SPRING THAT BROKE OFF. I'M NO METALURGIST, BUT THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY DANGEROUS FAILURE OF THE SPRING, IM THANKFUL IN MY INSTANCE NO ONE WAS HURT.*AK
