Kelly,

You are right it is not safe if it is falling off the rear hanger.

Sounds like the spring has worn through.

Take off the "spring eye bolt" nut and washer and then remove the bolt. The bolt is threaded into the hanger. There is supposed to be a bushing in the "spring eye".

Also, if one side is worn, then chances are the other side is too.
