Last year i put Raptor triple rates on my walker evans with piggy backs. I noticed this a couple weeks ago...i looked at the old springs and nothing on them...any ideas...i haven't taken it apart yet i just moved its a couple hours away i wanted some ideas before i go up to tackle this.....two year before i hit a stump trashed both a-arms on that side and spindle....i the shock wasn't bent then if it was not noticeable to the eye. But the stock spring wasn't doing this.

It looks like the spring isn't centered compared to the other side...again i didnt have time to drag it all out and look.

You only have 3 options....
The spring seat is damaged or not installed correctly.
The spring is bent.
The shock body or shaft is bent.

Remove the shock and then remove the spring from the shock and see if its option 1,2,or 3 :)
