I have even spoke to a representative at Moog and he confirmed that his spring (5386) is not flat on the one end. Shouldn't springs with open coils have a stop inside the frame? Some sites also sell a rubber insulator pad. The Moog guy said no! I hope someone can please help with my dilemma. Thanks a bunch!!!

I've never seen insulators on front springs...only rears. Bottom part locks into a notch...and again...I do not recall any "clocking" or locating set-up on the top of the springs. I could be wrong...but that's what I remember. Maybe someone wth a Fisher Body Manual can help.
