Hmmm... Anyone seen this before? On both sides of my car, the spring seems to deflect (sometimes?) and rub the shock body and adjustable collar. The threads are ruined on the collar.
Any ideas? -Steve Attached thumbnail(s)

While servicing my ride last year, I notice the same thing on mine. Since then, I've added 'helper' springs to keep tension on the main spring. Possible cause, the car unweightes, main spring does not reseat poperly - thus hangs and rubs on the coller / shock.....if anyone has another suggestion, bring it on.
