Frequently Asked Questions

Can this spring be fitted to earlier BJ8 models?
No. Earlier BJ8 models use a different rear spring. Using the incorrect type will affect fitment and suspension geometry.
How do I know if my BJ8 is a late model?
Late BJ8 models start from chassis number 26705 onwards. Checking the chassis number is the most reliable way to confirm correct fitment.
Should I replace both rear springs?
Yes. Replacing both ensures even ride height and balanced suspension performance.
Should this be paired with other suspension parts?
Rear shock absorbers and bushes should be checked at the same time, as worn components can affect overall suspension performance.
What problems does replacing this spring fix?
It restores ride height, corrects rear sagging, and improves overall stability by reducing excessive axle movement.
Will this improve handling?
Yes. Restoring correct spring performance improves rear stability and helps maintain predictable handling.
