A friend of mine was driving his 2007 Hyundai Entourage when suddenly the front end dropped. It was towed to the dealer (it had a recall on the lower arm 2 months ago) and they said the spring shattered into 6 pieces! I have never heard of such a thing. Neither had the service manager or any mechanic. Regardless, he is trying to call Hyundai for some assistance (the car is out of warranty), but to no avail. Anyone else ever have a spring simple collapse like that?
