I had a 2000 (W reg.) Ford Mondeo a few years ago that broke both front springs. One failed with a thump as I was travelling to the MOT station in 2007. On arrival I told the mechanic that there was something amiss with the front suspension, he had a look and said, "yes sir, all Mondeos do that apart from the diesels" and pointed to a pile of broken Ford springs in the corner of the yard. Only the broken spring was replaced on this occasion.
About a year later, the spring on the other side failed with a thump and a "boing". I took it to the same garage and dealt with the same mechanic who said "back again sir?".
There was no damage to either tyres or brake hoses in either case, although the broken ends of the spring were quite close to the tyre on the first occasion.
