no, mine doesnt, just put chrome ones on mine, it twists a lil, maybe u got rust problems in the turret and the strut top isnt clamping to the body so thats why your damper shaft is spinning around!

Change the rubber grommet in the strut top, still available new Possibly split thus causing the movement.

or maybe your damper bolt is snapped but the spring is pushing the cup up against your strut housing stopping it from falling out,either way better check it out,deflex do strut rubbers,cheap too,but quality.
