: ... this happened on my friend's car. We thought that the springs would eventually work their way around to the proper postition on the shock/strut perch, but they never did. We ended up having to remount the springs.

: An obvious reason that the springs might not be seated properly is if the spring was installed up-side down.

: Just a thought.

: Justin
THANKS, I NEVER THOUGHT TO CHECK THAT. DID THE SCRAPING STOP AFTER THE CORRECTING OF SPRING POSITION.
