Suspension Springs - Use of Packers/Spacers

Issue:

In production, suspension springs have one of two grades, depending on the tolerance of the overall length of the spring.

When short-tolerance springs are used in suspension assemblies, a 3 mm spacer (packing) ring is inserted under the spring, to maintain the correct

ride height of the vehicle. No spacer ring is used with long-tolerance springs. Any one vehicle can be factory-equipped with any combination of

long-tolerance and short-tolerance springs as original equipment.

All replacement springs supplied by Jaguar Parts are long tolerance springs that do not need spacer rings.

Action:

When installing a replacement spring on an S-TYPE vehicle, examine the existing condition.

In any location where a 3 mm spacer ring is found under the existing spring, discard the spacer ring before installing the replacement spring.
