Spring colour coding

Oct 02, 2003 4 Replies

Can anyone point me in the direction of a website that will tell me shich of my suspension springs goes where? I've just taken delivery from paddocks adn as all the springs were laid ontop of each other, I've not only got to spend the rest of the day trying to separate them but the lables have been rubbed off.



Any help greatly appreciated.

Would it perhaps be worth calling Paddocks and asking them?

It would but I'm holding off calling paddocks until I know what I've got. I'm trying to find out if the springs are the right ones since the 4 shock absorbers they've sent me don't match the ones I ordered & won't fit my 110.

Eventually found it myself. Thought I'd stick it here incase anyone else might find it useful

I've got the wrong CV joint, but unfortunately, that was my fault - misread the axle number and got a 33 spline one instead of a 23 spline. (or somesuch). Interestingly, the later type one has a smaller diameter shaft, as well as fewer splines.

so now I have to send it back, buggrit. And their online shop thing isn't working buggrit-2. Still, that might come back... just downloading Mozilla Firebird to see if it'a any good...
