Ok folks just got my new leaf springs and there are not completely identical one is slightly higher by 7-10mm, I half remember that this is attentional, so which side does the higher one go drivers or passengers?

Cheers

I'd put the taller one on the driver's side...

 

If you haven't done so already, turn them upside down on the pavement, and put your weight on them to break the dried paint loose. Sometimes that will make a difference. And yes, higher one on drivers side.

 

Cheer lads that was my plan, first have to get it through it's yearly APK which is road worthyness check

 

You could consider placing the higher arch on the passenger side to counter the effects of drive-line torque (under hard acceleration). But I have to admit I wasn't aware the leaf arches were different heights, so I don't know which side is the "conventional" side. Good luck with your decision!

 

I believe it is to compensate the driver's weight, but that's just what I've heard. Mine were identical as much as I could tell...

 

Dam. I just replaced my leaf springs and really didn't pay attention or notice a height difference. I that a big deal?? The car rides nice now with no bottoming out and no bounce. The ride height looks great too?

Shall I worry about it if they are on the wrong side?

Dont worry about it unless you can actually see it...
