    help with rigging my tension spring on hatchback

    I have these tension springs on both sides of my hatchback and when the hatch back raises, the back part of the tension spring/shock absorber/whatever pivot is to suppose to stay in position while the other part raises with the hatchback, but the problem is, the whole shock raises instead staying where it suppose to.



    Now I have one Bone that is connected to the hatch back and when the bone is rotated the hatchbacks raises correctly. I have another Bone in the tension spring, which I have added an HI Solver to and a orientation constraint, and all are linked to the main big bone.

    So now, when I rotate the main bone. Everything does as it's suppose to, but the bottom part of the tension spring doesnt stay in place at the pivot. I'm pretty sure this may have something to do with the bone not stretching, but I cannot figure it out.

    Also this is in Max 9

    Any help is greatly appreciated
