Default Felt/heard something that freaked me out...

The other day, I was on my lunch break. I drove about 1000 feet to subway, ate, and drove back... As I was sitting there finishing up my break, all of a sudden I heard this crunch like something broke, and the drivers side front of the truck dropped a solid inch... I've climbed under the truck and looked everywhere, but couldn't find anything... The truck is slightly leaning to the left but runs and drives as smooth as ever... even took it down a bumpy road and romped on it a bit, and not one sound or problem, also doesn't pull to one side... Am I going nuts??

What? Maybe that burger he ate at lunch took him over the top, and the spring finally gave out...


Is that what you were thinking too?

You might want to get under the wheel and check that out before you drive it again.
