coil spring

I'MMM BACK: My 85 with the Studebaker frame has a very annoying squeek caused by the RF coil spring just touching the outer edge of the coilspring housing in the frame. It happened after I dropped the RF control arm recently. Anybody have a thought on this?

Thanks Bob Fouts

From the shop manual (you may have done this, but just in case):

"1. For identification, notches are located on the lower coil of each spring. Place the top of the spring into the frame cross member and the lower end of the spring (end with notches on lower coil) on the lower control arm. the end of the lower coil must point toward the engine and be aligned with the center line of the lower control arm.

2. Place the roller jack under the extreme outer end of the lower control arm and slowly raise the jack. Make certain the lower coil of the spring is located over the lip of the seat in the lower control arm."

3. etc, etc
