Default Front spring number?

I'm taking my a ams off for ball joint replacement an according to my manual the front spring number should be on the right side. There is a metal tag with a number stamp on it, but it is on the driver's side. The car drove just fine, but 1 ball joint was going bad so all ball joints and tie rod ends are getting done. Do I flip the spring or is it ok as is?

Shouldn't make a difference.

If you flip the spring you'll have to remount the shock absorbers upside down.

And drive with your feet up in the air.
