I trimmed 1 coil.

When the car is lifted up and the shock is not touching the a-arm you can spin the shock. (I was spinning it for awhile thinking thats the way to take it out)

I also trimmed the shock bumper about the same, just a little more then you.

I got to check my spring. Because it doesn't sound like anything that would be coming from a shock.

Sounds like metal clunking.
