This isn't a problem for the W123 under normal circumstances but if you are putting in new springs then basic things such as counting the coils and working out how likely it is that coils will touch is important.

You may be correct about the bind. They make swiveling weight jack cups to prevent bind. They are not to much more expensive than the standard bits so I might spring for them instead.
