It was a drop shipment from BC in Florida. They fitted them with Swift springs.

Phantom's problem was the front strut assembly, the nut that holds the top mount to the shock was loose. When the strut was assembled with the new spring someone didn't tighten this sufficiently it would seem.
Yes, that is correct. So, for all and future reference, check the nut before install and/or load.
