Thread: Sagging new front spring

damn shame what a pain in the suspension would you expect any settlement ?
I don't know just asking ..got any shots of it as it is ?
good luck old bean

Just a thought, is the left spring seated correctly ??

I've just fitted new king springs and terra firma shocks to the front of my county and had a few dramas. Looking at the pics you can see new spring against old,but when fitted vehicle was 20mm lower Turns out I was given wrong springs.Other pic shows correct spring against wrong spring.I also had lots of dramas with the new shock bushes but now have it all sorted and the vehicle drives great I didn't realise how stuffed the old ones were !!

Before spring replacement it measured 900mm from floor to wheelarch, with wrong springs it was 880mm and soggy, but with correct springs (allowing for a winch and winch bar not yet fitted) it now measures 925mm.

Hopefully replacing the rear end this weekend, one thing I have noticed now is that the headlamps need adjusting as they shine up in the air a bit

Before I pull both springs out and double-check, is there anything else that might be causing this?

Blue/red spring is drivers side. (NRC9448) it is 3/4" taller free length. Also, if one of the rear springs has dropped, it'll affect the front somewhat.

Does the spring have any reference info stamped or painted on it to save you removing it to check?

When I had my crisis of confidence whether I put my King springs on the correct sides I could confirm by looking at the code.
