Check to see if the coil is jammed between the a-arm and frame. Be careful. I hate it when that happens.

TO FIX:  If I remember correctly...

jack up the front (from the frame), use good jack stand.  Slowly dump it to release some pressure, get a big bar/hammer and smack the coil back into the spring tower. Keep dumping and keep smacking. Once you get the coil back up there then release the pressure. The look at what caused the coil to jam. Maybe turn the coil about 1/2 turn in the spring pocket.
