Hi,

Hello there.Lots of interesting information in the archives
on Westy sag. It is said that the reason for this sagging of
 the rear end is from the lopsided weight distribution of
the westy interior. The fix, however, is not so clearly
seen in the archives.I didnt check all the entries, but I
did for most.I still see this problem questioned,today, on
the list.  The lopsided distribution causes an overloading
of the drivers side rear spring. My 85 westy has this
affliction. Had it when I got it at 154K. Many early Westy
have it. I went top the local Vw dealer and got a spring
chart that tells what springs are used in which Vanagons,
and which  can be used to correct the sag. Turns out that
the same spring is used for both 7 passenger and the
Westfalia.A blud dot spring on the 85.Seems like a low
mileage spring from a 7 passenger can fix this sagging(for
awhile).I just happen to have a couple 7 passenger rear
springs ,avaliable.
Just follow this link to my photos:
