I have these as well but have not had any movement after tightening the lock rings.

It can sometimes take a few weeks for the suspension to completely settle.

I was able to flatten my lock washer but it took a lot of cranking.

As for preloading the spring, yes, it is normal to have the strut rod start spinning as the pressure increases. However, do not let it just keep spinning. This can lead to a prematurely blown shock. Really, once this starts happening, the preload is set anyway, so it's not necessary to keep applying preload.

In your instructions it has some basic measurements of where the preload should be.
