Coil spring direction
The service manuals (as I remember) tell you to "hook" the pigtail around the front of the axle mount. As the axle moves up and down, the torque arm will "rock" the axle (the front of the torque arm is in a mount that doesn't move, so the axle will move in a slight arc as it goes up and down). The pigtail is the flattest part of the spring so hooking it around the front of the spring location on the axle is the best way to make sure it doesn't slip off.
Did that make sense?
