Default HELP!!!!!!!!!!! suspension

Hey guys, just came back from off roading in my stock JK. and look underneath my jeep and saw the my rear suspension looks like it came out of place. Im no expert but it looks like the springs came out of the yellow thing? Sorry about my crappy explanation, the ride feels the same. will the dealer fix this for free?

thanks guys.

If you didn't brake an axle... it can't be to bad. We hope. As usgaone stated, take some pics... three or more. One the see the whole suspension, one focused on the area, and the other zoomed in.

If you drove it 80 miles and it felt fine... its probably fine. I can't thing of what the heck the yellow thing is that you say your spring popped out of. Unless you are referring to the bump stops. they are a super hard rubberish material and kinda yellow in color. if it fell out of the tube it sits in, its not a huge deal for on road, but you'll want to put it back in or get a new one and put it in place. Otherwise it will put added stress on the shocks while off road by using them to stop compression travel instead of the bump stop. Anyway, ditto on the pics. A few pics and we can let you know whats up.

Rear bump stops are mounted underneath the frame rail OUTSIDE the coils. Fronts are mounted INSIDE the coils. If it ain't broke....
