Car was quiet up till the other day. Suspension rattle out of no where. I found bottom of coil spring is broke. Basically 1 full loop. Steel chunk was rattling on spring seat. I removed it with my fingers and car is almost as quiet as before. So,
1. Replace spring. On old strut.
2. Replace strut assy.
3. Might as well do both?
Front spring. 130k miles.

4. Cut a coil out of the other side to level the ride height.
Just kidding, I would lean towards 3.
