Evening all. I vaguely remember someone once saying that the front suspension on the petrol and diesel have different part numbers (because the diesel engine is heavier). Can anyone confirm this? And does anyone have the part numbers for either? Mine is a 2010 petrol with 200k on it and I have brand new set of stock suspension in the shed that I want to put on, but just want to make sure it is right.

I can’t help you with the part numbers, but the springs at least are different due to the weight difference, the v6 being considerably lighter.
Putting diesel springs in a petrol will have the vehicle sitting much higher with a rougher ride than with the correct v6 springs.. Ask me how I know........
