So I took my front struts into a local shop to have them compress and assemble them - I didn't want to hassle with the coil compressors. Anyway - I got to looking at them today and noticed on one of them the coilspring isn't quite set into the slot on the shock as shown below. Is this a problem or will it be fine...

You should be able to twist it into place. I would if I were you. If you can't get it to spin, I think you should take it back to the shop.

 

Have it fixed.

Nothing to spring compressors if you have some good ones...and a compressor.

 

ditto, fix them!

 

Yep, bring them back... it will only take them 5 minutes to fix it, and they shouldn't charge you anything to do it.

 

yup... compress then turn... Should be very quick for a shop.

 

if they aren't both the same I would think that the truck might not sit level

 

Thanks all - I'm headed back to the shop sometime this week - and will have them seat the spring correctly.

They should know better than to let them out of the shop like that!
Definately bring it back and have them fix em.
