Sorry, quite right.

So when the weight is taken off the wheel, the spring will extend and take up the play from the failed component I guess. This could point towards the top mount, item 4 perhaps?

I saw this on the front of a little fiesta. When the car was on the deck the suspension felt 'loose', but when jacked up the play disappeared when checking by hand. The front top mount had failed.
