Hi Craig- The pads I got from Steele I just made a small hole in the top pad to fit the head of the spring center bolt, I also did the same for the bottom pad to go around the spring bolt nut. I will post a picture or two for you later in the day. The left or right springs are the same. An original spring had three rebound clips(what you call spring shackels). The part of the spring that has the two rebound clips was to the rear of the car, the one rebound clip is to the front. I believe that if you measure the spring from the spring center bolt to the rear spring eye you will find this distance greater than the measurement from the center bolt to the front eye. The spring in this position will now bolt to the rear axle assembly which in turn is now correctly postioned to accept the drive shaft.I will confirm this when I take the pictures. Here are the specs for the torque, spring bolt 65 MIN-75 MAX, spring shackels bushings 65 MIN-75 MAX, spring U bolts 45 MIN-55 MAX and axle shaft hub nuts MIN 285-MAX 315.This last torque is very important. Unless you have the axle nuts to this spec, each time you shift you could hear a big clunk as the axle shaft and axle key move against the brake drum.If your car`s front end appears to move to the right every time you shift then make sure the spring U bolt nuts are to torque. This condition about drove me nuts when I first got my 47, sure enough the nuts were loose. Hope this helps. Bill
