Thanks for your concern, but the passenger side rear spring was seperated by 1/4" where it was broken. I didn't see a break in the driver side, but it could be broken as well. I suspect it is not broken and that the stabilizer bars are transfering the load from the passenger side to the driver side. I'll obviously replace both springs and find out during the removal.
PS. Living in Southern Ontario I know all about the rust belt though
