The lower spring mount, metal, is supposed to have an indented part that the end of the spring fits into and keeps it from turning. Plus the upper spring mount, rubber, is also meant to keep the spring from turning.

When you put the strut assembly back together, is the star nut torqued to 50lbs? Not having access to a star nut 'wrench' and fitting for my 3/8 torque wrench, I took a reasonable guess as to what 50lbs felt like for both the star nut and the large nut on top, practicing on a lug nut.
