Jack the car up, pull the wheel and check for a broken spring.

Yes...you should be looking at the spring itself. Once jacked up, first inspect it to see if you can visually notice it's broken, if not then try to move it around/up/down. I've never come across a broken spring but that's just what makes sense to me. If you don't notice anything wrong/broken with the spring itself, start looking around to supporting parts like the control arm, upper control arm etc and work from there.
