OME FT springs...left and right side opposite ?

[SPECTRE]

I'm getting my OME springs soon and recall reading that the left and right front need to go on the opposite side as marked because they are made for RHD vehicles.
Is this true ?

 

[mandinga]

mine were labled A & B
A on the ps
b on the ds

b on the ds

this is correct

Ok, but is that labeled for RHD or LHD vehicles ?

They are labeled for RHD. So A goes on the right side(PS in US) and B goes on the left side(DR in US).

If their still doing it that way, than the answer is yes.
Mines had A or B marked on each springs. B going to the DRIVERS side and A going to the PASSENGER side.

Does this also apply to the rear springs? A on passenger side and B on driver side or just the front springs?

I believe both front and rear ....

Easy way is the longer spring goes on us driver side to compensate for driver and gas tank. Stand em up before install. One is slightly longer out of each f/r set

cool as the new rear 860s I put in, I put them in A on passenger side and B on driver side but still have to swap the front J springs as the B side is on the passenger side which was done by the PO.

Just did my 850/860 springs and had read some bad info somewhere so when I was all done I had a pronounced lean to the driver's side, I swapped my A springs to the passenger side and put the B springs on the driver's side and all is well.

Taller spring on the driver's side, be it right or left, it's the international solution.

 

[PolishDude]

I put the B on the driver side and the A on the passenger side on my new 860s this pass weekend that I swapped in place of the 863Js that were in there previously. I still notice a slight lean to the driver side, that is why I am asking....but my front J springs are still reversed, driver A passenger B (installed by PO) so maybe that has something to do with it...

 

[dharmabuminajp]

Yep when I swapped mine around the right way there was still some lean till I swapped both ends. Theres always going to be some lean but with the Bs on the drivers side I am sitting pretty good. I have it down that I can swap springs on one end in about 25 minutes now.

Great, I plan on swapping the fronts sometime after Christmas
