Spring Perch Question (ignore the first one)

Is this correct? It looks like the ball is going to hit the spring when the car bounces. What am I doing wrong?

What is between the spring perch and the axle?

It's correct. When the car is sitting on the tires the spring will flatten out,the shackles will be at approx 45 degree angle and the ball will be above the spring. Normal.
