At least, that's been my experience over the past ~40 years of wrenching on Macstrut vehicles.. And not to be pedantic, but the spring doesn't hit the body; it hits the upper strut mount, which is isolated from the body via the rubber bushing.

Hack mechanic is most likely.
Also that piece isn't rubber, probably hasn't been for 30 some odd years because rubber ages. @
Tcoat works in industry and iirc they're polyurethane which is much more resilient to aging and wear.
