I was wrong.
If I pull the wing upward, there is some lift of it.
The damper rod isn't at full length.
So the weight of the car causes further compression of the spring.
So the lower the snap ring the lower the wing will sit.
My Sachs came with the ring midway , I knew nothing about it even being there . I fitted the springs on the new shocks . The front end lifted the arch gap by 2 inches . Driving over potholes knocked out L3 and L4. A bit of googling and using this forum,I discovered the ring. I took one of the old shocks to bits and found which slot the ring was sitting in . Upon refit the car sat perfect and comfort had returned. Not alot of people know the clip ring even exists .
