In removing the road spring for general cleaning and overhaul I find
that it had been in the vehicle backwards (according to the Haynes
manual). The manual states that the machined edge of the main spring
should face the rear of the vehicle. Is there really a front/back to
this spring? -- visually, I cannot determine any difference. Is the
general opinion that I install it the way that it came out (worked fine)
or reverse it in accordance to the manual? If I reverse it now, what
will that do to the camber or wheel alignment -- if anything?
Thanks in advance,
Ed Hamilton
