So I was leaving the garage after changing spark plugs on the passenger side. I stopped at the light, soon as i accelerated on the grenn light I heard a loud pop like something was forced out of place. Turns out it was the rear driver side spring. Its still on the car, looks curved a bit. I was wondering since I would be able to do anything until I get a paycheck, how long could I ride like this without making something else worse and also if that spring can be reused and adjusted?

Less than 10 feet. Dont drive at all until fixed. Did the spring rust out and break? Factory spring or aftermarket lowering type?

Yeah, but you need to be alive also, and not causing endangerment to others.

Wow, your lucky it didnt spin ya out of control! It sounds like a shock/strut broke. I have never heard of that happening before, just out of the blue.
