hello all, i had the enhanced inspection done today and came across something odd. when the front of my bdr roadster was jacked up and wheels removed, the springs were not in contact with the upper shock plate. the inspection mechanic was baffled along with myself. the springs are just flopping around with the car in the air. is this normal or do i have a problem? i never seen anything like it on any suspension i have seen. the car seems to sit fine and drive fine. any suggestions would be great. thanks for any help.
