Rear coil spring installation

[WesChapman]

Is it possible to install the rear coil springs the wrong way? If so, what is the correct orientation? I think I put one in upside down if that is possible.

What brand? The smaller loop goes on top with OEM and OME.

hahaha, sorry I forgot only my wife can read my mind....

I installed OME 927's. I'm pretty sure I put one in upside down. I was hot and frazzled the day I did the rears.

927s are for Front. do you mean 948s? Anyway, if OME then the end with the smaller loop goes on top. The small loop fits right around the bumpstop.

Yeah, 948's. Memory isn't what it used to be. Thanks, I'll be flipping the passenger side this weekend.

Don't feel bad. The first time I replaced my rear shocks I put them in upside down :happy175:

OK, I'm not an idiot, I installed the springs correctly.

Are the OME 948's supposed to be really bouncy?

That would be worn out/bad rear shocks.

Brand new Bilsteins at the same time as the spring change. Only about 3000 miles them.
