John, I will be pulling the springs out of 2 front cross members soon. I'll match them and measure them and let you know the lengths and any differences. Rusty

Hi All,
Thanks for your reply,
Gary, thanks for the offer of your hacksaw.
Rusty, thanks for your offer.
Ace, thanks for your measurement of 32cm.
The ones I have on the floor there are 35cm long, I believe the ones in car have been cut, will check in the course of time.
John

You can check really easily what they are out of. Look carefully around the edge at the shaped end of the spring and you will find the part number.

The no is on the closed end of the coil John, it may need a wire brush to clean it up  |

John, if they have no flats ground on them then they certainly are not genuine - I wouldn't use them anyway as the spring wont sit square in the tower without a flat end.
