Sounds like a broken spring to me. The Macpherson spring is under quite a load at all times, it should never move. A spring compressor is required for spring removal.

I am on a borrowed computer so I don't have access to my list of strut repairs. Turning the large gland nut on top with a pair of channel lock pliers should also move the spring 3mm before loading the rubber and wanting a rebound.
