Question about front springs for an '87 Vanagon  Westy.  Planning to
rejuvenate the front suspension of my '87 Westy now  with 500,000 kms, I purchased a
set of front springs from the Bus Depot, part  #  "251 411 105 A 952, front,
BOGE, standard height for Vanagon or  Camper".  Today I disassembled the front
end of my Westy and removed the  springs which to my knowledge have never been
replaced previously.  When I  put the old springs next to the new ones I saw
that the new springs are more  than 1" shorter than the ones I removed.
Puzzled to say the least.   So what I want to know is:

    Bus Depot:  Did you send me the correct  springs ?  Wrong spring in the
right box ?  Or ??

    List members:  Has anyone had this experience  ?  What did you do ?  Will
the shorter springs work or are they just  plain wrong ?

    Something's not right and I need help  please !!

Cheers,
