Weird. Are you able to turn the spring if you grab it by hand? Maybe it's just come un-seated from the strut itself.

Some cars (my Buick, etc) were set up something like this, with a rubber spring seat at the bottom as well as at the top:

It helps them float over bumps a bit more than the WHUMP that Volvos take them with.

Blisteins have an aluminum spring seat at the bottom of the shock that...shouldn't break, but I suppose it is possible. Been jumping any cliffs lately?

I went out and jacked it up and it looks like the spring has spun around a little away from the metal stop at the bottom. Its causing the spring to sit a little crooked in the lower seat. I guess im gonna have to compress the spring and move it back around...
