New coils don't seat well at top?

New coils don't seat well at top?

I was wondering if you guys that have installed new coil springs have ever run into the problem where the top of the coil doesn't seem to seat level at the top of the coil. I'm using KORE VR coils. Coil on the passenger side seats right at top, but drivers side doesn't.

When you look at the coil from the front view it looks like it tilts inward at an angle. My truck seem to always want to drift to the right also & I think it might be the cause.

Anything that can be done to correct it or should I go with some different coils to fix the problem. I haven't been to impressed with the KORE coils. I was thinking about Carli.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Make sure they match. You may have two different springs. Also, make sure they are in right side up.

Drifting to the right may be your alignment.

yep, they're definitely right side up & also have correct coil in driver's in passenger's side......driver's side coil just seems to have a weird spot where the metal end of the coil stops & it creates an angle on the top of the coil.....

I'd try to get a hold of KORE support and get some advice. Most of the aftermarket Co's have great customer service and depend on making you happy so you don't badmouth their products. It sounds like you may have a slightly misformed end on that one spring.
