FWIW: Back in the day every suspension spring was checked for load at a certain compressed height and sorted by 25# increments. Those on the higher end of the 25# were coded and went in the left (driver's side), at least on V8 big Pontiacs. This kept the ride height level over time because many cars just have a driver and no passengers much of their life. I do not recall if 4-cyl Tempests got heavier right front springs or equal. My guess is heavier right sides. Jon

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
