Is this spring seated right? Inc. pic.

[Andy]

Was changing the wheels over on my car today and noticed 1 of the rear springs doesn't seem to seat right.

Below are a couple of pics to compare. Sorry they ain't the best, should have really taken them with the wheels off.

This spring seems to seat correctly


However this one doesn't...The rubber part at the top is squashed and the spring ain't central

Anyone??...

pictures arent the best but it does look not to be seated correctly - best way would be to have a look whilst its on a hoist

I'll see if i can get it on a ramp after work.

Looks as though the coil springs broken and the top part of the spring, "the pigtail", is missing.

 

[Giles]

look like the one of the rear spring broken or not fit it right.

Not had time to get it on a ramp yet.

Starting to get pissed off with the car to be honest.
