Default Broken Springs, All makes of Cars

In the snow and freezing conditions a week or two ago, my SAAB broke a
spring going over a speedbump, there was a bang and then clunking from
the broken bit. 2 days later the other side did the same. Weird, it was
just the bottom coils, or 2/3rds of them anyway.


Bloke at work's Rover 75 behaved oddly while reversing a couple of weeks
ago. Thinking it was just the snow holding him, he struggled backwards
for a few more yards then got out to find one nearly new tyre ripped
apart by the jagged end of a broken spring.
