compress the spring again.

that should let you spin the spring to get it in it's proper location

it couldn't sit well there.. so it spinned couple coils.. so my car was actually running on shocks for like a day until I found out that it bounced like hell and lowered alot.. I don't have a picture but should the spring end point facing outward or inward??? that should make a different I guess.. it's only the rear tho. the front is just fine
