? about my springs

Are my springs supposed to sit at a little angle when they are on the strut, does this look normal? Trying to decide if I need new springs, 120k on them I believe.

That's not right. The bottom end of the coil should be in the little notch on the spring cup on the shock.

I will take a look at that tommrow, I think the only way to really see if the spring is bad is to take it off the strut. I was sitting at a funy angle that didn't look right to me but what do I know. I'll get a compressor.
