Take a look at the picture. this can't be good. (Comparing right side to left side)

I have called roadside assistance to take it to the dealer tomorrow morning. (Ignore the dirt, its still winter here!)

Damned if i know. Car was fine when I went to the airport Monday and when I got back today, I noticed it.

I looked closer. The bracket/device/cup that holds the springs in place looks to be broken. Hopefully dealer will take care of it under warranty. Shouldn't happen on a car this young (only an 06)

Very strange, hope the dealer does take care of it for you. Given that it's an '06 though, the original factory warranty is likely finished. If you don't have CPO or some type of extended warranty, it will be interesting to see if your dealer does take care of it without charging you.

Do you think someone took it for a drive while it was in the parking lot????

Valet parking?

Update.

So dealer thinks it is a manufacturing defect. The spring snapped, so definitely not my fault (for leaving it in the garage!) The service guy was pretty shocked. He told part is back ordered, none available in North America, but will provide an update.

Happy with the service thus far :)

Hey, most (well, at least some) people would pay a small fortune to have the car lowered.
