hi i have a question, i was taking off my rear wheels to find out why my car kept squeaking from the rear. and i noticed that the spring isolater (TOP) wasnt seated right. so i tried to fix this problem and i noticed that the sticker still said FoMoCo (ford motor company) and at the top of the spring it was cut with a hacksaw or something. i dont know if this is safe to ride like this or if i should just get all new springs, i am in germany and i dont want to chance anything while i am going down the autobahn.

thanks for the help

Alot of guys cut the springs to lower the car, should be fine.

I don't blame you. But, as long as it doesn't cause bottoming out, it should be fine.
