A strange grinding noise was coming from the passenger front tire area which was very noticable trying to back out of driveway, so pulled back in and looked to see what might be wrong. i noticed a burning rubber smell and that the wheel clearance was significantly less on passenger verse driver front tire. drove up onto ramps to look from beneath and could clearly see the end of the coil poking into the inside edge of the tire with a worn mark all the way around where it was pushing into the rubber. after carefully backing off ramps, it was jacked up and placed on jack stands, at which time it was clearly visible the coil spring was snapped in two. it is a miracle this was found before my sister drove 70mph on the highway she was about to. this would've certainly caused a blowout and potentially a fire, and at those speeds could've certainly been deadly.
