How hard is it to replace a rear coil spring on the Ex? A small piece of the rear left spring (OEM) apparently broke off on my 2013 Sport, at the bottom of the spring where it mounts into the rear lower control arm. I haven't noticed any change in ride at all. I had been having an annoying metal clanging/rattle sound going over bumps, and it was making me crazy because I couldn't find the source. I finally did a thorough check of the underbody and when I reached inside the rear left lower control arm I pulled out about a 3" piece of the spring that had snapped right off. Wondering if anyone has had this happen to them and the procedure to swap it out with a new one, I've done some suspension work before and would like to tackle it myself if I can

Thanks in advance all
