original springs condition
Hi guys,
I would like to know the height of the springs of a defender 90 puma 2.4,
to understand if mine are still good.
Or is there another way to understand?
Very Happy sorry for my English as a translator ....

My 1992 110 200 tdi is still on it's original springs so there is no reason why the springs in your vehicle should need changing. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel

You've done well then, springs naturally sag over time even when loaded normally.

Our 2006 90 had lost nearly 2" on its as built ride height by the age of 10 without any loading modifications to get it to that point.

The original shocks were replaced last year......I suppose it all depends on how much load the vehicle carries or heavy towing it does. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel

I recently replaced the suspension on my 2009 110 and the fronts had sagged a good inch or so.
Helpful measuring info on Gwyn Lewis website...
