Thread: Spring relocation cone question

So off I go to the place the previous owner had the suspension installed...and after a few minutes the arguement turned heated and I stormed off. They wouldn't honour their warrenty and

kept saying the drivers side spring is longer to compensate the weight of the driver, fuel and batteries. I argued that I only weight 80kgs and the batteries are on the left and the fuel tank is in the middle.

To cut a long story short, I just made up a steel spacer to get me out of trouble until I could afford to upgrade....which is now.

well I hate to break this to you but if you fit genuine landrover springs they are handed and are often taller on the drivers side...how do I know I have just fitted some....

it was also the same case for the 90 in the UK when we fitted after market springs they too were handed and the drivers side was taller

Cool. Shows that no matter how twisted the jigs at the LR factory were, there were springs to help. It appears that the longer spring was on the front RH but on the rear LH on some Rangies and 110's. Totally amazing.
