Yup...That's what I was saying in my earlier post..it is the last 2-4" that sits in the lower spring Seat and they are hard to see. I did one last year cuz the left break was visabile and we wanted to do both as a set , so when we got to the right one, which we thought was OK, we put the spring cmpressor tool on it and out popped a 3" end on that one that we just could not see.
Benz had a lot of them break right there on cars in Winter Climates [ salt], so they issued a TSB to add a Zink foot that slides over the spring end for that last couple of inches ..the zink stops the spring from rusting and breaking.
