Coil spring broke
Has anyone had a front coil spring/strut spring break on them? I have a 2013 F-150 FX4 with 65,000 miles on it and today while sitting in the truck eating lunch I hear a loud BANG, and then I go look at the front end thinking it was a shock absorber that blew up and here the coil spring is broken at the bottom.

Update on this, I noticed today that the nut is missing that holds the bottom of the strut to the lower control arm. Just a bolt sticking through and no nut. I Just bought this truck from a dealer 2 weeks ago and they worked on the front end, so I'm thinking that they did not torque the nut to the 350 foot pounds required. taking to the dealer tomorrow.
