Do Stilo front coil springs have to be fitted a certain way up?
I bought new front springs from Fiat for my 2003 jtd MultiWagon and noticed that the last coil on each end is a different diameter. One end is 112mm, the other is 103mm.
The car had new pattern springs fitted about 9 months ago just before I bought it but one has been fitted one way up and the other, the opposite way. The top and bottom mounting rubbers have now moulded to those springs so I can't tell from the rubbers, which way up the springs should go.
The new springs have the grading marks (2 yellow and 1 green dot) on one end. Does anyone know if perhaps these marks should be at the top or bottom?
The new Fiat springs free length is 40mm longer than the pattern springs so I'm hoping this is going to raise the front of the car away from the speed bumps. Re. this previous post;
