The spring I have to guess had a air bubble in the metal and the little steel thing for the raptid travel function if I would guess there to could be from an service gone bad when instaling the spring back.
I'm not going to use these parts anymore though. Just I have not seen these parts broken in the way they are . (other ways yes )
Oh I did not notice the steel "string" there. First I thought it was a terrible top-out I hope this will not happen with my Travis, the parts are kind of hard to find.
