Default center pin won't line up

I have a issue I took apart my leafs and put the AAl on and put the leafs back in the correct order I then put the leaf pack back in and now the center pin won't line up with the leaf that connects to the bushings its about a 1/4 of a inch off...I had no problems with the other side.

Have you got the spring in the right direction?

Glad you got it but were you talking about the spring pin that rests in the plate on top of the axle?
