Exclamation MS strut problem!!!

Ok, so I got everything ready so that I can install my MS springs/struts tomorrow. When I go to check my rear struts, I find that the mount where the spring rests on the strut is loose on one of them!! I can move the mount up and down the whole strut assembly. Something tells me that isnt right.......

Can anyone chime in here?

Big pothole/ramp over out-of-service bridge?

um....... let me clarify. The rear strut that I'm referring to is the brand new MS strut that has yet to be installed!

its suppose to be located at the very bottom of the strut, but as you can see it's free to travel where ever it pleases! what a spoiled strut!
