Is this a 140 or a 164?

My 164 has had this problem, first on the driver's side and now on the
passenger side (after an excursion through a roadside ditch following an
encounter with an icy patch a couple years ago.

I think that the B30 engine is enough heavier, especially when AC is added,
that the original springs just might not be quite strong enough for all
occasions. Up till 1998 this car spent most of its life in Panama and
has been on quite a number of roads where it was the first passenger car
that had ever been seen, some so rocky that progress was considered
"breakneck" at 3 mph. I did bend one lower A-frame pretty severely in
Costa Rica also. I also hit a high center hard enough that the tranny
crossmember pulled the main frame rails together over 1/4" so that I had
to rat-tail file the holes in the replacement crossmember. So I may have
a valid rationale for some spring damage.

Anybody got a pair of 164 front springs they don't want? For that matter,
back ones too.
