We investigate the discontinuity of codings for the Julia set of a quadratic map. To each parameter ray, we associate a natural coding for Julia sets on the ray. Given a hyperbolic component $H$ of the Mandelbrot set, we consider the codings along the two parameter rays landing on the root point of $H$. Our main result describes the discontinuity of these two coding in terms of the kneading sequences of the hyperbolic components which are conspicuous to $H$. This result can be interpreted as a solution to the degenerated case of Lipa's conjecture on the monodromy problem of the horseshoe locus for the complex H\'enon family.
