I am the original owner and have not had the coils replaced as I don't qualify for that recall. I don't notice any corrosion on the springs and there is no sagging. I ran my fingers over as much of the spring as I could and no cracks are apparent. Like I said, the sound looks to be coming from where the spring sits on the the strut. Anyone know if there should be some type of bushing in there? It seems like there would be more people out there with this problem. I don't beat on the vehicle and drive mostly on the highway. I think I will try and turn the spring to see if will alleviate the problem. Anyhoo, thanks for the help or any further ideas.
