[V8] Broken H&R springs

[Carter Johnson]

Yes, well - having some experience here....
   
  It seems to me that the spring broke because of tortional stress (this may be obvious to everyone, but I've been wondering why it happened) created by the steering system.  This is the only explaination I can come up with.  My front right spring broke, and I don't drive the car hard (except at the WDS, but they are impact-driving anyways), so it made no sense to me.  The spring sheared as if it was twisted off. 
   
  I'm not sure if yours is a similar senario, but it is interesting that it happened to 2 other cars recently as well.  My car has 237,000 miles and is stock (came with G60's, Dave...) so that shouldn't have mattered, and didn't even have gravity/physics defying tires on it when it broke, so that can't explain it either...
