The shorter coil spring and different position of the spring end will cause it to be in a slightly rotated and hence puts it out of alignment.
it's an easy mistake to make.
If this happens the cup/spring rattle and/or the cup catches on the inside of the tower.

Cheers fella for the info!
I remember when taking the shock apart that the top hat and bottom cup when viewed from the side both had a matching angle that followed the spring coil shape.
I even marked the very top bearing section that consists of three 12mm bolts that bolt through the top mount before removal. This part when spun on the shock when out reveals its not symmetrical but slightly offset.
Well ill drive to the meet today and have a proper drive and listen but all seems good and i feel better now Ive rebuilt them twice with a second pair of eyes on the job!!!!
