Stock Coil Spring Help!
Can someone please post a picture of stock front coil springs on their JK. My driver side coil spring appears to be bent and is 1mm away from hitting the bump stop. Sometimes when i turn right and the diff flexes I here a clunk coming form that area. I'll try and post a picture of what mine looks like.
The passenger side bump stop sits dead center and the coil looks perfectly strait.

Did you check to see if the top or bottom came un-seated. Check the bottom of the coil where it rests on the axle mount . The end of the coil needs to be seated against a little notch on the mount, if not that could be your problem.
x2 on what mkjeep said. Have you done a lift or is this stock?
Is it upside down?
That top coil is the most curved so if that is mounted the wrong way, it will produce an arc. So double check it is not upside down.
From those pictures it looks like the top coil is on the bottom (i.e. the spring is upside down), and it does not look to match the other side, but that is what it looks like in the pics.

from the pics it looks like the driver's side of the axle is sitting several inches lower than the passenger side. Try to get both sides level and look at it again. It looks like because the driver's side is lower it is swinging toward the rear due to the control arms.

Oh yeah, you're right, those are someone elses pics and he's right, the axle is lower so it is doing more horizontal movement on the axis of the lower control arm, thus pulling that part of the axle rearward, thus making it look like the spring is crooked/bent, when in reality it may not be.
