rreford Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 bought these springs unpacked, put them on my '70 240 with new KYB adjustable shocks. The car is just sitting wrong - high in the front, low in the back. I put the shorter thicker spring on the fronts (spring on the left), the taller thinner spring on the back. Did I do this backwards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I have some Tokicos (but they're red) and the part number stamped on the spring has an F and an R at the end to signify front and back. 5022-F and 5022-R. I think that MSA sells blue springs like those. They might be MSA. That doesn't really help you though, does it? Still, I would expect some ID numbers on them.

cockerstar Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 John is correct. You've got them installed backwards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
