Reinstalling rear spring's

[2ndGearPull]

Just wondering if I had to mark the rear stock springs before removing them out of the car? Now the real question is because I didnt mark them when I took them out. Will I have any issue's when I go to install them back in the car? Car not sitting right?

There's an indentation in your lower control arm where the end of the spring should be installed. Just look closely and you will see it...

The fronts are pretty hard to screw up. The pig tail lines up where the seat in the perch stops. It's easy.

Now, looking at the manual I think that I have found my problem. Here is the step that I did NOT do when I was placing the springs in.

And for those who are thinking of replacing their springs on the cobra here is a GREAT writeup on how to get the springs out.
