Loud snap and there is now noise when turning steering left and right

Question

While I was driving 20 mph, I heard a loud snap/bang noise and the car then started making noise when turning the steering wheel or driving on small bumps. Any idea what could cause this? Broken struts?

This is a 2013 Volkswagen Golf Mk6 with approximately 40K miles. I just had to change the rear brake pads because they rusted (as I don't drive enough?)

Brought the car to a mechanic, front driver side coil spring broke. They have to replace both. Quoted me about 500 USD for 2.5 hours of labour & OEM parts from dealership.

Might be that your steering pump went bad too maybe the polley or bearrings inside broke.

Did you feel like you have to use a lot more power than usual to make turns???
If u do big chance that might be it..!!
