haha well i replaced the tie rod end already thinkin that was it but i was thinkin those arrows might be what it was seein as how my honda tech friend swore to me.."that has nothing to do with it" lol so prolly the arrows? and im guessin once i get the 3 studs lined up correctly i then line the top spring cap arrow up with it?

and the spring must be turned all the way down on the bottom where its up against the stoppin point on the bottom of the shock right?

well im pretty sure i got it the right way...but when i pulled the stock spring out the cap and rubber came apart on the top of it...and i more than likely didnt put it back together correctly

You'd be surprised, it can be easier to put them in upside down than you'd think with certain spring companies
