Not only does regular maintenance save money — it can prevent dangerous issues like this.
The driver heard a loud bang and ignored it.
Then ignored the clanging noise when turning.
On inspection, the coil spring had completely collapsed.
Luckily, the tyre wasn’t damaged — this time.
The bigger concern?
Fragments of the broken spring are likely now somewhere on the road, posing a risk to other vehicles.
If you hear unusual noises, especially after a bang or when steering, don’t ignore it.
Get it checked early — it’s safer, and usually cheaper.
