Land Rover Defender 90 rear coil springs.

Just received a pair off genuine Land Rover Defender 90 standard rear coil springs . I have noticed both have the same paint markings ,red,yellow,green are they not handed no more ?

According to the 2 spring charts I have, green yellow red is 90 drivers side rear heavy duty.
Passenger side rear heavy duty should be green yellow white.

The link above is to one of the charts I have saved.
The chart lists the colours the other way round to what you said so you must be holding the spring upside down lol
As far as what modern practice is with regards to handed springs..... I ain't got a clue!! Soz

Hth

Thanks rich ,it seems if they are still handed I have two for the same side ,so they can be put on upside down by mistake ?

Lol ignore the comment about them being upside down cuz the colours are the other way round!!
That was just a joke - sorry for confusion!!
The springs can go any way up.

They should be. In fact all four should be different. Handed, and front and rear.

Thats cleared it up for both of us then

Cheers,

According to another forum. Land rover no longer fitted handed springs, a lot of people selling new take offs. And both sides are the same.
