Yeah that is an interesting theory. I guess if all the paint (it isn’t just a mark but covers the entire top of the spring) from all 16 springs wound up in the pickup it wouldn’t be a good thing. Obviously paint chips will not bend a rod but oil starvation would spin a bearing but not sure a spun bearing would lead to a bent rod. Probably something lost in translation from the tech to the service manage and then to the customer.
