VW T28 Rear Springs Upgrade

[Ready for a shred]

Hi - I have recently purchased a converted T6 T28 and the rear is sagging a touch.

I plan in-time to upgrade the suspension when I change wheels etc but for the short term looking at changing the rear springs only.

I have taken a look at T32 springs but can’t find a solid answer as to whether T32 springs will fit directly onto the T28 mounts.

Any thoughts would be appreciated

Yes.

The vw dealer done that mod on my T5.1 FOC when i had a new rear 4M diff fitted.

My T28 was sagging at rear due to weight. T32 rear springs sorted it.

Yeh the rear springs will fit its just the front struts that are different on a T32

I’ll add a third yes to this, they’ll fit no problem and will most likely solve the sagging rear and problem.

Fourth that ;-) we do it all the time for standard panels vans who want to carry a bit more weight.

Looks like you're in luck

All - I can’t stress how helpful you have been and so prompt..

Can’t thank you enough and very grateful - appreciated.

I strongly suspect I will be in need of some T32 rear springs for my T28 soon....
I have an exploria bed with caravelle fitting bottom structure and will be fitting a heavy sliding tray system next week. Coupled with all my loose camping gear and a planned kitchen pod, I anticipate some sag.
If anyone has some T32 rear springs lying around I am in the market.

Cheers

I've got a full set of t32 springs and shocks that are not doing anything. West Sussex.

What do you want for the rear springs and would you package up for a courier ?

 

[Jwoodhea1]

No, I want the whole lot gone really. Free but only collected.

 

[Sackmycook]

No worries, too far for me unfortunately

Sorry couldn't be of more help.

Would T30 springs be worth trying?

 

[Sackmycook]

Would T30 springs be worth trying?

Are they not the same as T28?

 

[Skyliner33]

Are they not the same as T28?

No, they are stronger as they have to carry 200kg more. But it’s not as simple as that, not all T30 springs are the same, or T28 etc.

 

[Sackmycook]

Yeah, I was reading a thread earlier, need to check a plate in the engine bay or something. I'll know more by Monday after I get the tray installed and test load my camping stuff.

What's the colour code for t32 springs? And t30 just in case that's what I have in my garage?
