is it to stop the spring dislocating under articulation? I know some defender owners clamp the top of spring with jubilee clips.

It shouldn't be since the spring is secured to the axle (in standard setups anyhow)

although,  yes,  a jubilee clip or other such device is used (or can be) to stop the spring dislocating.  I personally prefer to fit relocation cones but YMMV of course.

the spring isnt secured to the axle in standard form on the front as there is a shock in the way :wink:

only secured on the back in standard form

Good point...

Why was I thinking this is the rear ?  I mean, it steers ...

I need more sleep
