    Let's start with the obligatory "don't drive it" statement.

    Have you checked in the wheel well to see what the problem might be? Compare to the other side of the car. As bad as it sounds, I think you will see the cause immediately.

    If I remember correctly, it is not uncommon for the 240 spring seats to break away from the strut tube especially in the rust belt. This would be my fist suspicion.

        Even a blind pig finds the acorn once in a while.
        Thanks for posting back with the results,and I hope the other side is in better shape. I think I'll have a look at my son's 240 next time he stops by.

        Dan
