alexiskai, Yes looking at spring and shackles it clears the axle OK but I can see where the spring came into contact with the spring perch. At rest, the shackles are at ~70°, just short of being vertical.

I believe it is time for a new spring.

Werner, The current spring is lubed with graphite and has gaters to keep water & dirt out.
