It's not just the springs that have to be seated correctly, the upper spring seat on the front has to be seated on the strut shaft correctly as well. It's really easy to put it together not seated, even with the spring seated properly in the upper seat.

The strut shaft is stepped, and the upper spring seat has to fit onto the stepped part properly to work right.
