Default Escort suspension problem

Hello all. I have developed a problem with the rear springs of my 96' ford escort 1.9L LX hatchback. The driver side rear spring has cracked and broken at the very bottom of the coil. It has not caused any problems with handling ability or suspension problems. I was wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem and if anyone knows where I can get some springs to replace the currently broken one.

its a problem on all escorts..only the rear springs though, both are probably cracked but if not replace both. i got mine at napa but pretty sure you can get them at any auto parts store. you may as well replace the struts also
