No they don't but I still install them so they match each other.

1987 GM Service Manual for Caprice/Monte Carlo/Camino say PG 3D-4: Upper end of coil leg towards left side of car & perpendicular to centerline chassis 5 degrees max reward or 15 degrees max forward. In other words in line with the axle.

To clarify the above, BOTH upper spring tail tips need to face to the left. Don't point them both inward. (Applies to RWD, B, C, D, and G. Does not apply to FWD cars. Actaully, I don't even care what FWD cars do for spring orientation.)
