Not sure how it all goes together as someone else put my springs on. are there any bushes at the top of the shocker and are these in contact with the spring?

If not what the hell is this MOT Tester on about

Basically it comes down to the fact that if your car is airbourne then the spring could fall out of its seat.Not that you drive around with your wheels off the ground.
The only way to fix it properly is by getting the shocks machined.
