Ok this is what it should look like :



and mine doesnt look like that, it doesnt seat properly in the groove.
It hangs over and balances on the edge, its asthough the spring it to small on one end, or the place where the spring sits is to big

anyone have ideas ?

Some springs have a smaller hole at one end, tried turning it upside down?

Shouldn't really make a difference as it's under compression anyway and it's just as likely to dislocate unloaded from either end.
