My front passenger coil spring slid over against the back of the wheel assembly. Anyone experience this and know what causes that? I have a picture but it's hard to tell.
Coil spring question

I'm not sure what you mean or exactly what I am looking at? Can you take a clearer picture and a little further away? I see some contact between the spring and bumpstop tower but that's it...
The lower part of the spring coil slid to the left. It's not centered anymore. So the coil spring is up against the back of the tire assembly.

Yeah but it shouldn’t be too hard to get off I had to do that to my Dana 35 cover it’s almost like a thicker, dirtier grease

Is the spring seated in the upper perch properly? It looks off to one side.
You'll have to excuse me, I'm a surf and flats fisherman. Not a rock crawler/desert guy. Salt is a MF. But hey maybe you could tell me if you know any products I can spray on the undercarriage to neutralize rust? And new end links are on the list. They're 2 pieces not one solid.

It is off to the left and I was wondering if someone could tell me how or why that happened? And how to fix it? Does it look like I should get new springs? There is a small crack in one. Other people told me they're fine just fix it and put it back.
I didn't ask you to judge my rig bro lol unfortunately I'm into salt fishing. You know any products I could spray to neutralize the rust? Also remember this beast is 20 years old.
Ok..so to get much help we're gonna need to see better pics. Take one from a distance to get the entire spring assembly, one of the upper perch, and one of the lower. It really should look like the opposite side though. It is possible the wheel assembly dropped enough to allow the spring to unseat but you did not say you were wheeling.
Also a cracked spring is failing and should be replaced. It can be welded but it will effect the spring's action.
