The middle spring in the passenger spring pack snapped the other night. I was able to limp it home 5 miles going slow. It needs to go to the dealer tomorrow to have them check it to see if they will warranty the repair. The dealer is 6 miles from our house. Should we drive it their or get it towed. Thanks. Dylan.

Drive it as long as the top spring is fine it is still drivable. But take it easy.

Ok Thanks guys. I was thinking of going out on a local powerline trail first and give a good beating but maybe I will just drive it straight there. I sure hope they cover it under warranty. It actually looks like the break is old and that it just popped out when I unloaded the suspension.

Don't let 'em tell you "we've never seen anything like this before!"... it's actually fairly common.

Oh - and if they don't warranty it, see if you can find one in a junk yard. Replacing a leaf pack is pretty easy with a good jack and a few hand tools
