Scorpion rear springs

<< < (4/4)

Really, it is fact!
Its the premis that all spring installation follows.
The tightly coiled end of a spring(heaviest) should always be installed against the 'stationary' seat and the lighter  end of the spring against the moving part.




Check out any manufacturer installed springs in pretty much anything. Like I mentioned, valve springs, motorcycle suspension springs.

Budgie:
When I did the Disco & Rangie with Scorpions progressive springs they went in with the tighter coils at the top for 3 main reasons:

1. Thats the way Land Rover fitted the original progressives I took out of the Disco.

2. It's hard to get the spring retainer plate in with tight coils at the bottom.

3. I didn't want a pool of mud sat in the bottom of the tight coils!
