Default Pretty common....>>
with H&R's as reported here (why do you guys keep doing this to yourselves?). Put the rubber biscuit back in between the spring and the body??
Also there are about 4 renditions of this spring. Apparently they can't get it right.

Default Steve, the rubber biscuit goes where?
when you say between the bidy and spring are you talking about on the top part of the spring. or the lower part where the spring rests on the "cup"?

Also be sure you seated the ends of the springs in the recievers in the beds.
