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)

How much free movement is there between the spring and collar when the car is off the ground? I expect that the bottom of the spring will be riding those threads when unloaded which doesn't seem ideal. Plenty of cars use a limiting strap simply to stop the suspension from unloading the spring which isn't always captive. I'd prefer a strap to a helper spring any day or figure out how to wire the bottom of the spring to the bottom collar
