While turning out of a driveway I heard a bang noise. It was night and at the time I did not see what went wrong until an inspection later removing the driver side front wheel. The top of the strut spring broke. The top of a mcpherson strut is a pivot for the steering. The car is a 2012 with 86,000 miles.
Over the past 6 months or so every time I go over any sort of bump in the road I hear a cracking kind of noise. When I go over the railroad tracks it sounds as if my car is going to crack..it's so bad I am so afraid to drive my car however I do need to drive it. Very scary
