This owner rang a ford dealer one day and he was looking for a set of new springs for the front of the car. This Ford storeman asked him if it had air conditioning fitted. Owner said there was. The Ford storesman told the owner that because of air conditioning unit fitted, the passenger side spring would be a stronger type spring compared to the drivers side spring.
Is that correct about the 2 front springs?
Yes and no. On normal models, there is a different spring fitted if you have a/c installed, but most 4x4 and Cosworth 4x4 models list a different spring (different height) anyway.
