I think the PO replaced one of the springs. One of them had some old yellow paint on there and from what I was told by someone locally, was that it came from a "pick and pull"

As far as the diameter of the spring eye bolt, they should be the same bc i replaced the bushings using the same size on both sides and they both fit pretty snug.

It just looks weird to me, so I think I'll just play this one safe and order a new set.
