Front Spring Replacement Question

[201fireman]

I am installing front springs. I know the white dot on the spring goes up (also the flat end). My lower control arm has a low spot in it that looks like a seat for the end of the spring. There is also 2 drain holes in that area about 2 inches before this seat. Do I put the end of the spring just before the two holes, leaving them both open? I would think so but that would put the end of the spring about 2 inches before the bottom of the seat.

The end of the spring goes in the indent. Any water will still get past the spring and out the holes.

the end of the spring should be between those holes, at least covering the first hole

Got me thinking...crawled under mine and it's between the two holes also.

I've done dozens and dozens of front springs, those holes aren't really drain holes, they are for getting the spring in the correct orientation
