I have 2 sets of OEM springs, both with different color markers on them. 1 front set has blue & white, the other front set has pink & white.. Is there a difference? Could they be an Automatic / Manual difference for weight reasons? Can anyone confirm what model or trans each set should be on?

 

Part numbers?


I know for various bolts the paint colors mean "tightened" at the factory. Not sure what the paint marks on the springs mean, but wouldn't count on it being part identification.

 

Just called the factory and they said those paint dots should simply indicate left and right on factory spring/strut assemblies. I noticed those as well on some take off springs and struts I have in stock.

 

My real concern is that I changed my springs from oem 04 ones to oem 06 ones. They are both for an A/T, but I see 2 listings for springs in 06 and above for A/T that are way different in price.. I think I might have mine backwards from left to right. Is there a difference between the left and right for A/T after and including 06? Im guessing so to account for the trans weight difference.. Any chance of finding that out? I havent had any luck. My car pulls to the left with a perfect alignment, and I think that might be the prob..

 

Yes. The right and left are different for the fronts and could be the reason for your pull like you said.

 

Would that also make the car feel less solid than it should when hitting bumps, and dip more to the drivers side than the passenger when making turns?

 

How could I even figure out which is left and right wasting time swapping them?

 

So which color is right and which color is left?
