BTDT. The studs are the splined press in bolts and they occasionally loosen and drop out when the struts are fitted back into the tower, etc. I have successfully fed studs back in place by taping them to a coat hanger but it depends a little on which stud you can reach and how much fiddling time you want to spend. It might be easier to undo the sway bar link, brake line bracket and tie rod end to drop the strut. You do not need spring compressors.
