Hi, I'm hoping one of you MG guys can help me. I'm salvaging a early 1974 CB front and rear suspension to use in my Austin project. When I removed the front springs I realized they are two different lengths. The right one which was noticeably stiffer in the car measures 10.2" long, 9 coils. The right is only about 9.35", 8.5 coils. Can someone tell me if one of the springs is collapsed, or is one from a different car. What are they supposed to be?
