Coil spring ? with Pic

[Shawn_248]

I just put my spacers in yesterday. After I did, I started to notice a clunking noise when I'd hit the brakes. I couldn't find what it was, but then I finally noticed the drivers side coil spring wasn't setting on the spacer as smoothly as the passenger side. I'm pretty sure the noise was the spring going down onto the spacer when I hit the brake, then back up when I'd let off. I get 10 hours a month to use the shop I work at for personal matters, and I'm all out of time for this month. Would it cause any harm being like this? I've driven the hell out of it to make sure the spring wouldn't pop out, and after the hell I put it through, I'm POSITIVE it isn't coming out of there.

The sway bar link is distorted by perspective and the fact the photo
was taken with good depth of field, but it's a stock type link.

dont know but if you have rought it up and seen no damage you should be fine how long are you going to leave it this way

 

[Shawn_248]

I can't mess with it at all til next month, but if it won't cause any damage, I might just leave it. I'm not too big on fixing stuff, unless I absolutely positively HAVE to

 

[IlovemybroncII]

shawn just keep an eye on it and if you see it starting to mss something up stop and fix it best i can tell you

 

[Shawn_248]

yea, I don't really do much offroading, and when I do it's just light stuff, so I'm pretty sure it should be ok. thanks man

Why do you need the shop to fix it? I did my coil spacers in the driveway in dec of 07. It was 10 deg out and 2in of snow. If it really bothers you, which it should, just do it.
