I have my coils bottom end with the end facing out...but I don think that having them face in or out makes that big of a deal

Are you taking the coil springs in front? If so one end of the opening is larger than the other, i.e. one end like tapers in. The "larger" end goes on the axle whereas the other end goes into the body. When you align the bottom of the coil into the coil spring seat on the axle you will see it can only go one way.

edit: just read title yes you are talking coils.
