Regarding spring/strut area on an 03

We'll I'm waiting for Compustar to call back in regards to a new
remote plus antenna...so I decided to look aound the car...and I'm looking
around rear driver side wheel area. I noticed(what it looked like anyway) a rubber bushing out of place in the middle of the spring. I have 20's
and just a drop, on red springs, forget the make ...bought them so
long ago.

Anyhow I paid a lot of money a year back to have the
after market springs put back on with the 20's. If someone that
knows the mid spring area of what I'm talking about I can email
the picture for post. It looks like a rubber piece is warped out
of place.

I also have the Abs light on and I'm wondering
if this area is causing the ECU to pull the ABS light. Stealership
says it's a broken plug. Sorry this is long. Thanks for the help.

It's probably a spring spacer.

Post the image here, why email it?

You can upload it to photobucket directly from your cell:

email it too:

username.PIN@uploads.photobucket.com

Obviously, you will enter your photobucket USERNAME then your PIN in the above format.

It will email it directly to your photobucket account, then you can post the IMG url back here.

it's the dust boot for the strut...which happens to be one piece with our bump stops. They were probably cut when your springs were installed, and have no fallen down. Pretty common; mine are doing the same thing. Some people zip tie them into place, and others buy new...I think I'm gonna do the latter when I have the time.
