I guess this is what happens when a strut blows...

Read this post this morning but couldn't see the pics at work.
That issue isn't the strut itself, There is something else wrong there.
I'll have to have a look at my old struts tommorow.
Definately not safe, as your obviously aware

Edit - Did you reassemble the top like this:
Because in your pic I cant see the "damper stop plug" (lower washer)

Everything is installed correctly and there, EXCEPT the damper stop plug (washer). Which i know holds it down but it wouldnt have worked if i put it in...

Coil springs are no laughing matter when you are new to doing them. Those springs will kill your ass if you arent careful with them.


But that shit is really funny though I aint going to lie.
