Cover is damaged so you should replace, clean the shock pistion rod before installing new cover..
If the rod is scatched i will replace both shocks.
Jacked the car up today -15c weather and looked and found that the spring is broken.
It looks like it has been broken for a while.
U can see it at the back of perch
Looks like an old break to me, car has 68,000 miles, and I tracked it 4 times last fall like that, yep just order HR coilovers, with new top bearings.
One question do we need to use #4 pad in back?
I have seen at least one other person who posted a similar break in a spring before. No idea how they happen, I can only assume a defect in the metal, maybe with some corrosion and combined with a large amount of force.
