Default Please... help

Okay so i'm going home at around 11:00 PM.. i pull up to a stop sign.. go right.. not even going very fast.. but faster than normal (no launching)... but im 30 in first.. and i hit 2nd.. and as soon as i hit the gas on second.. i hear a HUGE crack.. not only from the back right of my car but the gears grinding with it.. and i'm so ******* nervous... so i drive it home at 5mph and every time i pull up the back right side of my car the alarms go off.. i look under my car and my spring for the left side is there.. but i can't find the spring for the right.. ANYONE know what happened?.. i'm going to take pictures for you all right now..

You're saying your rear passenger side coil spring is gone?

Doesn't look out of place to me, maybe it's just the pic.

Nice tires. I have a pair of those up front

Wtf, did the spring snap in half a little higher up? If so at least now you have an excuse to get some nice BMR's or something.

wow maybe the spring came out of the pocket. on a side note i was doing a doughnuts in my car and the panhard bar bent in half? im still trying to figure that one out. but it made my passenger side look similar to yours the panhard bar is what keeps the rear centered. so check and see if the drivers side of the rear is sticking out more than ususal
