I just installed my new koni ye;llows today but I had problems installing one spring, and that side now sits like an SUV the right front.


Iwgile i was decompresssing the spring on the new koni yellow shock,s, i noticed the upper portion on the spring was leaning out of the top strut mount, so i decompreessed and compressed agaion but i had preoblems lining yp the top strut mount with the spring i was in a rush got it done and fully uncompreessed walking to the car i then noticed the lower portiong of the spring wasn't ieven seated right and looked as if it wanted to slide off the lower spring seat. i whacked it with my ratchet handle and it slide in more.


by the the time i have the shocks on the car and drop it offthe jack i noticed that side sat like an SUV just that corneer sat so high.


There are 3-spring seat postions adjustable ands yes they are all equal on all sides, i installed plastic washers, but ii also had four metal washe4rs and not sure if i wann't seeing right 2 were thin two were thick. By the time noticed myself putting the two metal washers (while setting up my new shock with the sping) looked like i accidentaly put both thin washers on left and thick washer pon the right BUT am i wrong? are the metal washer same size or a are they different thickness?

Did i bend my spring?

 

somebody help me please

 

Pictures would be helpful. Springs will bend, you'll need to crack them (dunno how that would be done), really, to make them not work.

I'm not sure what washers you're talking about. Are they the plates that go on the shock when you put it together?

What you may have bent would be the shock shaft, causing it to bind, and not allowing the spring to compress all the way.

But again, pics would help.
