I was sitting in my car with 4 friends on a slight slope downward from left to right (\) when we hear something like a spring snap and metal hitting metal. We got out of the car, checked it and didn't see anything wrong with it (when I heard the sound I thought the parking brake cable snapped). We got back in and about 20 min later we heard another spring snap followed by metal on metal but this time it was louder. When we got out of the car we found this:
2002 Jetta TDI
160km
Bought used at in May at 130km
So what's involved in getting this fixed? Do I just need new springs or do I change out the springs and shocks? Should I might aswell drop in a nice Suspension kit for myself? I really have no knowledge in suspensions so I could really use some guidance as to exactly how I should go about fixing this because I'm assuming I can go and get the springs replaced anywhere I want but if I can get a sport suspension installed for not much more I might as well. Also where do you recommend I get parts/service.
