I have never put a coil spring in. I took it out because I was doing some other work. I would like instructions on how to install it. I tried and I just can't get it in right. I do have a compressor an it is compressed and ready to go. Thanks.

It may be upside down and I don't see the rubber piece that belongs there. Follow instructions I sent.

The instructions you sent are the same as my Haynes book. I was just wondering if there was an easier way. The rubber piece is on top. That's where it said to put it and I have the spring positioned the same way it came out.Thanks for your help.
