is this a common problem?

Last may I hit a small pothole and broke my coil spring ,Ijust put it off to the the many potholes and bad road surfaces . Until last week when I heard aodd noise coming from my right front corner here the coil spring on this side had broke also .is this a common problem or is this just a fluke?

fluke

does it get extremely cold by you?

did they break in the same place on the spring by chance?

no the weather has been quite balmy

one side broke high on the spring and the other about the middle

somewhat of a common problem, atleast with us other n-bodies (malibus and GA's)


usually due to a bad mount which when turning will twist the spring and in turn weaken it.. or so has been claimed by some who have had this problem
