So this morning I noticed a rubbing sound from the front wheels in my 2017 Volvo V40 CC T5. After a quick check I could see nothing untoward. I drove to work listening to the sound which was in synch with the speed. Thinking it might be brake related I pressed the brake pedal a few times but the sounds did not dissipate. Using the roundabouts to turn the steering did not change the sound.

It was only when I got to work that I got the car jacked up and with the help of the colleague found the front drivers side spring had snapped , but in two different places. The first looked a lot older as there was surface rust on the fracture, but the new one was also digging into the tyre cutting a new groove into it, which was the rubbing sound!

Spoke to garage and they will replace the broken one, but wondering should they not replace both? Will also need a new front tyre as well
