How was the old one attached? There's no way it would work without being physically attached to the rod in a fixed position.

If you bend the new one, how is it going to work/attach to the rod?

I just looked at my truck and the axle on the valve definitely has a slot into which the center of the coil spring fits into. Did your old one break off in the slot? Did you re-install the valve in the right orientation?
