Come to mention it I started feeling the vibration after doing an 85 mph freeway interchange curve to the right which I think put too much pressure on that left back wheel and popped that Maxspeed coil and then let the fender sit down on it and rub it till it took out
The tire. I've just never seen a shock go that
Bad where the spring would hold it but
I guess if it was complete gone? Anyone seen one go like that ?

Ive seen the maxploding coilover bodies strip out and do this, on either the height adjustment or the preload adjustment. I've also seen the bolt that goes through the lower strut bushing come out or break.

Look at the distance between the spring seat and the fork that bolts to the lower control arm, check the spanner nuts to see if either is spinning

Improperly assembled rear struct assembly, got the washers in the wrong order. Take a picture of the Rear shock from the top looking down, the shock shaft should be sticking out more than normal.
