Hi Everyone

Currently installing my new Swift springs but...got a problem, my front suspension dosent align properly so I can't fit the bottom bolt? Any idea?

Both upper and lower tip of the spring align in the proper groove so I don't know why it dosen't fit???? Is my rubber at the top? Bottom cannot be better align than that. ???

Tks

You're top hat is not put on in the right orientation. It needs to be offset to 35.4 degrees ...let me find the service manual picture for you, give me a second

Is the rubber positioned correctly? Indentations for the bolt heads as shown here. IMG_6595.JPG

I put the spring perflectly in place at the bottom and there gas a gap of 1in at the top in the rubber pad. I have desassemble and reinstalled everything in place with a gap of 1/2in at the top and bottom and the spring took is place. I was not able to have a perfect fit at the top and at the bottom like your picture Senna. The spring I think was cut too short a little bit. :/
