But you got that from a dubious source(me)?
"Based on the info above :-
The stock spring is 75lbs/inch and about 4" long
The McMaster Carr spring # 9657k142 is 39lbs/inch but only 3-1/2" long.
The deficiency in length is a problem?
If so, check McMaster Carr #9657K136.
This is slightly larger diameter(1.25" vs 1")
It is 57 lbs vs 39 (or 75lbs.for OEM)
Fully compressed it is longer than the short spring 2.81" vs 2.31" Is that 1/2" a problem?
You can buy just one spring in # 9657k136
or this?
