That the spring will yield any time the suspension hits its "full travel." By "full travel" I don't mean just kissing the stops. The stop is elastic and how far the suspension ultimately compresses depends on how hard it hits the stop. This is a f*****g station wagon, and only a lawyer would design the spring so that it never gets over loaded. This is what did in my Aero Wagon's rear springs, and I confess. I loaded it to the gills and the NE Ohio pavement did the rest. The standard suspension, I am told, is more forgiving.
Note it has nothing to do with the mileage on the vehicle, only how long it takes before the owner loads up the vehicle and then drives over a bump. The age or the number of cycles within the elastic limit of the spring will not change the rest length of a spring. If metal fatigue is at play, the result is a broken spring (see '03 to '06 9-3 SS, corrosion initiated fatigue failure). The only other possible mechanism, "creep", does not occur in steel at earthly temperatures.
The spring is not of correct design.
