I have had that problem on my 1994 Chrysler LHS. Your strut is actually broken, the pan which holds the spring in place has poor welds and can snap. You should get a new strut.

The most simple shock absorber design has it sit between the arm that holds the wheel and area under the seat on the frame. As the rear tire hits a bump, the shock absorber is "sandwiched" between the two. The shock absorber itself isn't too different from any other shock absorber.

What is the purpose of a shock absorber?

A shock absorber for a wheel limits the rapid movement of the wheel when it hits something , like a pot hole. Without it, the tire would bounce like a rubber ball. A good shock absorber prevents this. It is quite easy to notice a car with bad shocks absorbers. When it goes over a bump in the road, the back end will continue to bounce many times. This can be dangerous if the car is going fast as it is quite possible that the driver could lose control.
