Did a/c cars have different springs? Did not know that!!

 

[cobraboy]

I thought I read somewhere that the fronts were beefed to cope with the weight of the a/c ?

Harvey might know, either way I'm covered

PAS cars had longer, not stiffer front springs. I'm assuming pretty much all AC cars had PAS.

My P6 has P/S and A/c ex factory. Ive upgraded the rear springs a few years back as she was sitting lower on the drivers side by 25mm. Ive never touched the fronts as everything appears hunky dory up there.
So if "Rover" put different units on mine ,Ive never noticed. She still rides like a dream after 50yrs.

They shimmed the front springs on AC cars to correct ride height.

Thanks
I knew I had a nugget stashed in amongst the grey fluff, but could not extract it.

On my NADA only 1 shim extra on the front and only on the N / S as this is the drivers side and A / C compressor on the N /S

Clive has it correct. Oddly enough though, for the TCs the spring shim is listed as 6 required.

Mine only had one extra on the left hand side. Weird.
