After you re-seat the spring with the proper preload then everything should be fine.
Good luck

Check the nut in that little cap thingy. What holds the strut to the whole, bucket, seat, spinny thing, where all the grease is. I had mine a little loose and it was making noise.

I installed hotchkis springs about 2 weeks ago and now i have a noise coming from the front right spring when I backup and turn the wheel. Its the spring moving around and im almost positive it needs to be reset. Can I just tighten the strut nut, or should i pull it all apart to reset?
Thanks for your time

After getting the spring/strut assembly out, I just used my impact wrench and tightened the top nut down which gave me the proper preload on the spring and i was set.

ight thanks for info, im going to pull strut assem tommorow and hit it with the impact a couple times. Im also going to make sure i didnt put the spring in upside down. I dont thinks its possible, but im going to check it anyway.
Thanks

Not sure the front springs can be installed upside down, just did mine and they looked the same on both ends. I just installed with the writing right side up. The rear can be installed improperly..
I had to really mess with the fronts to get the springs in the correct position. I could see this being problematic...
One thing I noticed was there seemed to be no difference in left and right shocks in the front or the rear (obviously there is a difference between front and rear). Is this the case? I took care to place them back where they came just in case... Can they be switched universally?
