Yup. Pretty normal for that type of situation. That is why I shave a few thousands or more off the bottom of that bearing on the pump. Just enough to allow the shock to expand without destroying the housing.

It was asked a few posts back about why these springs crack. My best guess is age, and brittle hardened metal that is frankly over-sized for the job.
