Yes spring. Had the same - the end of the spring was broken off and still sitting inside the coil. Wasn't aware of anything until I was looking underneath and spotted it.

have a look at where you park,is it at a slant.try parking the other way around.the only reason i state this is my old estate used to lean to one side and after the garage couldn't find anything broke they asked me to park the car the other way around on the drive and hay presto within a week the car was level again.it was just due to the slant of the drive and the weight of the car made the suspension settle one way.I know it sounds crazy buy it worked for me
