Hello. I saw in another thread someone talking about clocking the rear springs on their 240. I was wondering if there is a specified way of clocking the springs. When I did my rear springs, I took care to clock them the same and I set them in a way that made sense to me.
I've attached an image: The red arrow points towards the front of the car and is perpendicular to the flat section of the lower retaining plate. The spring is clocked in such a way that it's butting up against the longitudinally oriented flat section. The end of the spring is represented by the cyan line.
Is this how it's supposed to be?
On a related note, I was double checking my trailing arm bushings because I read that the arrow is supposed to be pointing down. I could only see the upper side of the bushing and saw no arrow, so I'm guessing I oriented them correctly. I oriented them such that the meatier of the two "sides" is on the bottom and the air gaps are to each side and level.
