Suspension help




I recently had my king pins redone and rookie mistake didn’t take pictures of everything before tearing it apart but my question is is my coil spring in the correct place? It looks like it’s to much to the left?

To much to the left of what? About all you can do is see that the coil is seated correctly at the ends. As the suspension works bumps, the radius arms swing the axle ends through arcs and coils will bow.

after looking at the picture after posting I don’t see why I said it’s to much to the left but my main concern is that the coil is seated correctly right?

I think so. The mounts with the recessed shape don't guide the spring, they are just made wide enough to allow it to work without hitting it. If the ends are set correctly, that's about all you can do.
