Re: Rear spring problem...MAYBE?!?!

I think thats normal, as long as they dont just fall out. And are they stock springs? Or lowering springs?

By your sig I assume you have lowering springs which are usually shorter than stock springs. The shock are letting the axle drop enough to unseat the springs . No big deal.
