| Description of the problem | Car was is garage. Went to back out and had barely moved an inch in reverse when i heard a pop and a whooshing noise of the front left tire deflating. Car was then slanted/lopsided to the left because the tire was so deflated. Tried to remove tire and couldn't get it off. Discovered that the front left coil spring had snapped off and it was lodged in the tire. The sharp jagged end of the spring is what popped the tire. Lucky i wasn't driving when this happened! |
