Gravity says it should drop to the extent the sway bar and lower arm allow unless it is bound up on something. The paint, or cosmoleen, or whatever it is spreayted on the fender well, or the threads off the studs may hold it, but there is no magic supporting it once those nuts are off?

Maybe Matt's Titan Physics exemption extends to his STI struts. A jack under the strut can't hurt.
