    Default Struts stuck?

    I noticed when I lowered the front with the jack the tire seemed to 'shudder' as it was compressing the spring. The front is also 1 1/2 inch higher than normal.

    When trying to press the front down with all my weight it does not want to move. The drivers side has a little give but pass side wont move more than 1/4 inch, feels locked up solid. I can lift the car by hand about 1/2 inch and can push it down that same 1/2 but it stops dead right there.

    Is this my whole problem causing the loose balljoints to be making that rattle/knocking sound I can't figure out?

    Bilsteins, not like I ever had any problems with this brand but never experienced anything like this.

    Edit: Searching for a while, this is not a common occurrence, who would have thought.
