Strut test off car

Question for those who have experience with the struts in the SVX...I have the front strut out of our 97 due to noise that we thought was upper strut bearing/mount. However, when collapsing and extending strut without spring, there are times when the shaft will free travel for 1/2" or so...is this the source of the popping noise?
The upper mounts seem fine...
