Tien S-Tech guys...which way is up for the springs?

How do I know which side is the top, and which side is the bottom? Do I just need to have the "Tien" logo facing the regular way? Also R and L springs are interchangable, correct?

Thanks

i dont think it matters which way its facing, as long as it fits in the seat for the spring, if you notice the strut has a seat for the springs to sit on.

On springs, closer spaced coils normally go to the top.

if Tein is upside-down, then the springs are upside-down. You have to be able to read Tein correctly

if its your shock or springs causeing the noise then it will go away, if its another worn out part then I'm sure you'll notice it when doing the install and you'll need to change that part.
