I installed two 15mm spring spacers today to mitigate a case of Jimny-lean. I put the front one under the spring but before doing the rear one I checked online and it seems they are meant to go at the top of the spring, so that's what I did. The front one seems very secure and there were no issues on a brief test run. Do I need to change the front spacer so that it is on top of the spring or is it fine to leave it on the bottom?
Many thanks

I have never used one but i would think at the bottom it could suffer premature wear do to movement being greater at the axle end
I would move it to the top
They are cut and shaped to fit the top. They will move around and even fall out from the bottom

I thought it was just the front right hand corner to cure the lean ? Why have you put one on the rear ? If you looked at the vehicle before fitting the spacers, the front right and corner would be down and the rear left hand corner be up. The rear right side may have looked slightly down but would pick up when the front right hand corner is spaced.
Have a read of this. I did one 6 years or so ago.

Thanks for the help guys, I've sorted the front spacer now.
Rob/Busta - Right, thanks I didnt realise that. It's done now - I'll check distances between arch and tyres tomorrow and if they are close I'll leave it in.
