google is your best friend for pics. but the top just rests on the rubber cusion. the bottom has a slot that the end of the coil should line up with. its a corkscrew type of slot and some (mine does) have a clamp the bolts on to hold the last coil down to the axle... its hard to capture in a picture...

yeah from what i was googling i couldnt really see how the spring should sit. i have those clips which hold down the springs once they are in the correct position.

they just told me before i get it aligned i should fix the springs. i think i fixed it, the end of the coil spring looks like there is a spot that is sorta sits in. its hard to explain unless you know what im talking about.

If you look at them, they are kinda self explanatory>> The top can only fit in one place, and the bottom sits on its mount with the end of the coil in the little groove?
