Make sure the bottom part of the spring is in that little divot on the spring perch. I did the same thing when installing my springs one night.

Just lower it back down, give it a good twist, and it'll pop right down and ride straight.

Here's a pic:

See what the castor is set at. From what I've read if it's at 4.5 it should bow the other way. Mine is at about 3.5 and bows forward. The spring just touches the sway bar on the passenger side but is good on the driver's. Also make sure the bottom of the coil is in the groove on the spring pad.

Thanks fixed the problem. I ended up rotating the spring out of the perch and it sits prefict now, going to take it in and double check the caster hopefully it will be good thanks
