Bet he offered to sort it straight away if that was the case..anyways which side of the WAS is your IT going on....???????

The nearside front spring was fitted upside down.

I was told this happened because the nearside front spring had the manufacturers stamp the wrong way up.

The thing is, the Lesjefors -40mm sport springs are progressively wound so the coils would of been wound closer at one end, making it clear which which end was the top.

Very true it all depends on how people sort things out and it obviously shows every one can get things wrong even when it comes down to simple things.
Also its rather sad and a very cheep shot knocking some one for a wording mistake, why not just keep on the subject.

I think my cheap shot was actualy, his post orientated....

Very well thanks mate, considering the massive transmission losses I'm suffering.

Hold on,

This is taken from the Lesjofors FAQ Automtive website.

To summarise, the spring IS COILED DIFFERENTLY top to bottom. However, the spring rate is linear not progressive.

So, there IS still a difference top and bottom when not compressed and a little when compressed.

8. Are the Lesjöfors sport springs progressive?
Answer: Many of the sport springs are progressively coiled in one end, but this is only done to give the spring additional coil material needed to keep the spring in place when the car is lifted and the wheels are hanging free. When the car is put down again, these coils are compressed and the spring’s area of operation is all linear. The sport spring is therefore not progressive.

I forgot to say that the message was from one of your friends that is no longer a member here.

There was another part to the message, but it was a slightly offensive, and I wouldn't want to waste one of my warning at this time

Now, do you mind? You're interrupting mine and Warrens conversation...

I don't mind one bit, you carry on your small talk.

The point is, Tim Williams still fitted the front nearside spring upside down (which is progressivly coiled) and had to send a friend round to attempt to resolve it.

Pretty poor job from a man who prides himself on working on (many) Volvos from home In his garage.
