According to the Hipo book, front coil spring paint stripe should be red or brown. On my LH spring, I only found a couple of small bits of brownish paint that might not even be part of the original stripe.
On the RH spring, I found the remains of a <b>white</b> stripe. Both springs have the same dimensions and # of coils as called out in the book. I'm just trying to figure out why the white stripe. I do know that the car was damaged on the passenger side, both front and rear corners sometime early in its life. Would a service replacement spring possibly have a white stripe?
It isn't a huge deal to me, but I am curious.
