I have a 1993 200tdi disco with sagging suspension, the previous owner used the vehicle for towing a heavy trailer on a regular bases and so had upgraded all the springs this gave a very hard ride but was great for towing. Now that I am replacing the shocks and springs with standard ones I am having difficulty identifying which of the new springs go where , I have one pair of what look like twin action heavies and one set of slightly lighter ones but which way round do they go?
I seem to remember that for tdi's the front springs are heavier than the rear to carry the extra weight of the diesel engine if this is correct which way up should they be the tight coils to the top or the bottom ?
Thanks in advance for any help !
Ps I am in a hurry as the disco is up on my ramp and jacks as I type
