Thanks im a bit OCD like that, mechanical engineering isnt my primary forte but give me some silicon and your on lol.



Its a good shout i have little experience with springs n dampers but i did have a good look and can see nothing snapped. I counted the spring coils visible and both sides are the same having three spring coils visible coming down so if it is snapped it will be way up out of view like you say. I suppose i should consider myself fortunate if snapped it did it way up but i dont know but looking at the state of the springs would say highly probable.


EDIT


Whilst up i gave the troubling wheel a few good pushes down and couldnt move it plus no sounds like scraping spring n such??
