Yet another issue I found....and a question
While jacking up the rear of the car two nights ago, the right rear coil spring shifted 3 inches on the top side. While investigating, we found that we could move both springs out of the proper position with just the slightest tug, while the rear was hanging. Now, I am no expert but I'm guessing that this in not normal? This is a good sign that they are worn out?

That sounds normal if the car is supported by the frame and the axle is hanging free.

Dont take my word for it but they do hang fairly loose . Someone with more knowledge than me will chime in.

agreed. when the axle is hanging, the springs are loose. very easy to remove and replace.

Sounds like a possibility or the springs themselves dont belong under there.

I know my springs were loose with the rear hanging but the shocks were disconnected at the time. Not sure with shocks hooked up if it would drop that far.
