Question  about front springs for an '87 Vanagon  Westy.  Planning  to
rejuvenate the front suspension of my '87 Westy now  with 500,000  kms, I
purchased a
set of front springs from the Bus Depot, part   #  "251 411 105 A 952, front,
BOGE, standard height for Vanagon  or  Camper".  Today I disassembled the
front
end of my Westy and  removed the  springs which to my knowledge have never
been
replaced  previously.  When I  put the old springs next to the new ones I  saw
that the new springs are more  than 1" shorter than the ones I  removed.
Puzzled to say the least.   So what I want to know  is:

Bus Depot:  Did you send me the correct   springs ?  Wrong spring in the
right box ?  Or ??

List members:  Has anyone had this experience  ?  What  did you do ?  Will
the shorter springs work or are they just   plain wrong ?

Something's not right and I need help   please !!

Has no one besides me  bought these springs from the Bus Depot ?  Reason I
ask is that I have  not received any responses from anyone who has.  Nor have I
received an  answer from the Bus Depot.
