well i do live an area that has salt on the hiways and streets so maybe that contributed to the spring breaking. in the last 2 winters there hasn't been alot of salt on the car but i did get it used and it originaly came from calgary alberta and alberta is knowen for really salty road so maybe this problem stared a few years ago. corrosion and poor metal is the only thing that makes sence but you would think that Ford would be able to make a spring that doesn't break. i mean they have only been making them for over 100 years. there should have been some better quality control for such a simple part. oh well stuff happens even toyota has mechanics.
