 Having just rebuilt the whole of my front suspension - with the w/shop and parts manual in front of me my springs are flat side down - After I fitted the first side I checked the manual and scratched my head and then did the other side - thinking all the time this can not be correct.

After reading the past postings on this subject I'm now going to strip it down again and change them around, if nothing else it will look better.

Also the new rubber (anti squeak ?) seats are not the same diameter as the original but aged old ones, and this makes the seating of the spring appear 'dodgy' to say the least. I was very concerned with the lack of lip between the crossmember and spring - at least with the springs flat side up it should be better. - Richard
