Front springs
Does anyone know if there is a spreadsheet or chart listing the physical specifications for front coil springs. I'm looking for something that list coils, free length, diameter of wire, gm part number anything to identify loose springs. All I can find aftermarket part numbers and pound loading.
Any information would be appreciated.

Hi B,
Some of the spring information is in the AIM.
These are 71 numbers.
The springs were identified by green plastic labels giving the part number and broadcast code. There was no other identification on springs that I'm aware of.
