A local dealer told me it was most likely the end links going from the struts to the stabilizing bar.

    While driving heard a load noise in the front left of the car, then a rubbing noise. Upon inspection it was determined that the front left spring coil had broken. The tip of the broken spring was right up against my tire. If driven any further the spring could have shredded the tire and caused an accident. *tr

    Front spring broke. Creates potential to cause loss of control at highway speeds. Read many instances of this on hyundai vehicles. Company only replaces broken spring, refusing to change out other side proactively.
