Coil with bend

I have a rod with a 90 deg bend in it. It has a spring that sits over it (starts straight, bend, then straight again).
Can the coil feature be made to do this? or do i need to use the a 3d sketch of some sort.

Larry Caldwell did a great example of how to do this. Search under "Bent spring" in ICF http://discussion.autodesk.com/WebX?14@@.f15ad3a
