the front coilover: the top collar is not in place and someone forgot to use a retaining spring to keep the assembly from over-extending when the car is lifted.

Boot looks like an age failure actually. I'd bet they are original... Going to go ahead and do all 4. If I'm going to get nasty, might as well make it worthwhile. Not sure about the axle, It may look funny because the car is in the air.... But I'll check it all out good.
Yes the front coil. not sure wtf is up with the collar coming unscrewed, but its back on now. As far as the retaining spring... I talked to the guys at Paragon when I built this setup, and they said its really not necessary so I left it out.
Now tonights fun. Took the motor mounts off to clean the crossmember, and realize the mount on the side of the pan that was leaking is toast....
The one on the left is one that was on the shelf in the shop, and I honestly don't know where it came from, but its showing some age cracks in the rubber, so I think it needs to go bye bye. Thinking I will upgrade to the Lindsey ultra mounts while I'm replacing.... Even though I don't want to give them the money...
