Front Springs Cli 172

[Cvija]

Hi,
Can anyone tell me is it normal that I can move front springs (TWIST) while the car is on its wheel (springs are loaded)? My logic is that spring should be preloaded on shock boots and then even more when car wheel are on the ground...

Cheers

No it's not normal, sounds like a coil has snapped off

Thanks for reply.
Coils didn't snap, they are in one peace at least for now.
But if you lift up the car you can without much effort move the spring. So I guess that this is not normal. And while the car is on the ground my friend also managed to move it a bit. It seems like the springs are compressed...
Cheers
