Question about stock springs ??
On the factory springs I noticed that some of them have a paint marking on it. Do those markings indicate which side the spring belongs to???
I know they identify from front to rear but what about left to right or doesnt make any difference at all
thank you in advance for any inputs on this

I don't think it matters side to side.
The OEM springs would not have variable/custom left to right spring rates for any reason I'm aware of.
Clipping: There is a paint mark on the spring that should be used to return the spring to the same position after the unit is replaced (if the shocks are to be replaced and the old springs reused). Alternatively, place a piece of tape, paint, or otherwise mark the spring to allow for reorientation.
