110 td5 double cab spring question grrrrr

monk · Aug 29, 2021

Hi all, tried finding an answer through searching and spring tables ans getting conflicting info, just fitted new wheels and tyres and the front drivers side is rubbing plastic inner wing even on a straight bumpy road, so measured springs compressed and seem a bit low 230mm drivers 235mm passanger, but between wing and tyre the drivers side is approx 30mm lower, my query is the nrc8044-nrc8045, one table says now use nrc8045 on both sides where obviously the norm is to use both, i want the front level left to right with progressive springs with no tyre rub, so do i just order x2 nrc 8045?

Cheers pal, seems to be so much conflicting info off people, so im going to just order 2 the same, i dont mind fabbing up some spacers if needed, want genuine springs but unsure where to go

What size wheels and tyres did you put on?

NRC804 is longer than the NRC8045 (by 10mm) which I find interesting as 'normally' the drivers spring is longer than the passengers.

I fitted 2 of the “longer” spring when I done my rebuild. I thought I fitted 8045, but it could have been 8044. Either way, I would fit 2 of the same length.

Ah i thought it was the 8045 which was longer, more confusion ha longer would be better!

Cheers for that, i kept reading the passanger side needed lifting more and spring length was longer on that side

8044 is the longer spring, 15.31” vs 14.49”, so approx 389mm vs 368mm.
