The Vitesse workshop manual gives the following test:
- clamp the spring at the centre (4" wide clamp) and apply test
load at the spring eye
- deflection measurements are taken from the spring eye axis to the
line extending from the bottom face of the spring where it is
clamped (**this WOULD be a lot easier with a diagram **).
- with a load of 1302 pounds applied,the eye axis to spring bottom
distance is 1.88" +/-0.13.
sorry - no unloaded spring measurements
hope this helps
