I've a pair of 'odd' springs which I've just removed from a pair of shocks.One has coloured spots painted on which appear to be the original spring from my googling. The other doesn't have this, appears to be newer and had a code printed on it. They are different lengths. Anyone any idea what vehicle the newer one is intended for? Partner perhaps? dangti6 has attached the following image: ________________________________________  |

Appreciated that falling of a tractor is scary and it could indeed cause anal leakages!!! I do believe however unless you have been eating your crayons chap! This amount of multicoloured markings is a concern and a trip to the old quacks is in order Im guessing it was the sheer cold from the aircon that caused you to shiver loose focus and fall !perhaps a higher temp setting !!!!!!? ________________________________________ BLACK RALLYE - phoenixWHITE RALLYE - valliant http://public.servicebox.peugeot.com/ https://www.gov.uk/check-mot-history |

Interesting, thanks.The Spring wire is the same thickness on both. Do we think the length difference could be partially the older one sagging slightly? I hadn't noticed a height difference when they were on the car. Perhaps it's negligible when under compression or I didn't take enough notice. Anyone want to buy an odd pair of springs?  ________________________________________ |

Strength in carbon springs is dependant on the mixture and amount of carbon in the steel not the thickness of the coils/wire i would imagine they where uneven and there compression rate would be off aswell possibly not by muchAnd no dont require dodgy springs ! Ebay the peugeot one someone will have a snapped one that needs replacing  ________________________________________ BLACK RALLYE - phoenixWHITE RALLYE - valliant http://public.servicebox.peugeot.com/ https://www.gov.uk/check-mot-history |

Very common for the vans to snap springs and only have one replaced.Peugeot do it by wire diameter and number of coils, far too many variations to use different metals but rolling a bit of wire to a smaller diameter is easy. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |
