Mike Jenkins Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I'm doing a bit of a rear axle refurb (disc conversion, new ball joint) on my '87 90. I saw (and bought) a set of springs on ebay to replace my 24 year old ones which are a little tired. ebay It seemed like a good price. Arrived quickly. But... I have two sets of two.. 2 x red/green/orange 2 x white/green/pink I thought that they should be different, like this: 90 Puma Spring Advice The seller says they all came off one vehicle: "Hello i sent you two front and two rears the colors are for the rating they came off a new defender last week and they are the only set we have left so there had not been a mix up." Will they be ok, or should I put back on ebay? Cheers Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncmc Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I recently too replaced all my springs for new, but mine where from 1997. I used genuine LandRover ones as from new. With mine, each corner is a different colour/rating. I don't recognize the colours that you listed and they are not listed in the techincal archive springs link http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=89. Are they genuine parts, or some other manufacturer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Jenkins Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share Posted June 4, 2011 The seller swears they came off a brand new defender - presume a suspension upgrade. The springs are new, but they've definitely been on a vehicle. The colours match the ones in the "90 Puma Spring advice" link in my original post, so I have no reason to doubt they're not genuine.
