The front control arm has a groove where the spring lays...its notched to match the pigtail. Easy to see where it points.

The front springs are set up differently

There will be two small holes on the lower control arm(bottom part where the spring sits in) Some have one hole ok.
If you no not see them take a pocket screw driver and clean out all the dirt, mud, sand out of there and you'll see them. (Then holes are about the size of a pocket screw driver)

You put the pigtail end over the outer most hole.
AS you raise the control arm back up make sure the spring stays in the same position.

POSITIVE ON THIS ONE ALSO
I DO ALL MY WORK MYSELF AND YES I READ ALL DIRECTIONS FIRST.

Springs are in car sits awesome. And the pig tails are in the right way. For future reference theres a diagram in the Haynes manual. I didnt look there as in teh past there diagrams are useless for the most part. Almost stock called me a 6 am to help out too. Almost Stock is a great guy!! 10hole LX thank you as well you were right on the $$ w/ those pointers. So its good to go! Just need some warmer temps out there 2nd gear on a roll into 3rd is very very slippery.
