animating shock compression

[p_micah]

Building an Ohlins style shock for Biomedical/cyborg type legs. i have no clue how to link/animate the shock.

the idea is that when the shock collapses, the lower end slides into the upper end and the spring depresses.

any help? ideas?

thanks!

IK and goals, with the spring`s Y stretch following the modified translation channel.
