Front Spring rubbing shock??

[RTED]

Right front spring on Gen I rubbing shock. Any ideas how to adjust or correct problem. Concerned that the spring will wear a hole through the shock.

Thanks,

There's really no "adjustment" to make. Either the shock is bent or the spring itself is sagging and has bent oddly. You can't even rotate the spring; the bottom end of the spring has to sit in a spiral seat on the shock body and so only sits in one orientation. Time to take it out and look at what's causing it. If you need a spring, let me know.

Take the wheel off and see what the problem is.

I would not drive an inch at this point. It is not "typical" that the spring touches the shock absorber.
