Yeah its like that the spring twangs back into place at the top mount its not moving freely
Whats the fix? The top mounts bearing spacer collars are missing have ordered some but it was ok without them before?

Over here at our local hardware stores that I go to they have a vast "Pick-a-Nut" selection, and they have various bushings and collars. I have been known to get one from then and File it down or Drill it to the proper diameter… I suppose you could back the tension off the Top Nut, but until you get the bushing or spacer it will still cause the issue….
The other end is that the spacer or Bushing is too tall and the stut beats the hades out of the mount…. it is like Goldilocks, has to be just right.
When I buy the mounts I make sure that they have the bushing in the kit. I also take a minute to clean the steel on the bottom of the strut and stud and weld that sucker as I had one spin on me as I was replacing the strut assembly…… couldn't get it on or off, so I clamped it from above to hold the stud up flat, and wound my arm and wire welder up there to weld it in place so I could lower it and weld it proper, then paint it, I did both studs, the second strut was welded prior to me putting it in the car…. That was the first strut mount that has ever done that to me….in 30+ years of wrenching on MK1's
