My 2p's worth.
they are meant to top out...how else would you tension the spring? if the piston doesnt stop so you can wind the platform up making the spring tight it simply wouldnt work. plus the fact springs loose is an mot failure iirc

its how they work

topping out is normal, there is no real weight behind it, just the spring tension, it wont make any noises....


unlike bottoming out, which has the weight of the car behind it...
