THE BEST THING TO DO IS DRAW A STRAIGHT LINE WITH A MARKER TO TELL YOU WHERE THE CAP AND BOTTOM OF SHOCKS LINE UP. NEXT TIME YOU DO SUSPENSIONS BUY A PERMANENT MARKER (A SILVER ONE) TO HELP DRAW A GUIDE LINE WITH. I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I DONE A LOT OF SUSPENSIONS AND TC IS THE FIRST ONE I HAD WITH A PROBLEM. I KNOW THIS BECAUSE WHEN I DID MY PASSENGER ONE I DIDNT KNOW ABOUT THE GROOVES SO I MESSED UP THE PASSENGER AND SO WHEN I DID THE DRIVER I USED A MARKER AND DREW A LINE ALL THE WAY DOWN FROM THE CAP TO THE END OF THE SHOCKS AND THAT HELPED ME DO THE SPRINGS IN LIKE 15 MINUTES.


SO CHECK THE GROOVES ON YOUR SPRING CAPS THAT ALIGN THE SPRINGS WITH IT AND MAKE SURE IT IS ALIGNED
