It should have 5 medium (0.9mm) shims in it as a starting point.
Interesting! This only had 3 medium shims in.
Additionally, the outer spring free length is 74.5mm against a spec of 75.7mm. The inner one was pretty much up to spec.

Remember that what the parts Manual quotes is only a starting point. Or maybe shims were robbed from there to put in somewhere else because the Part Numbers are the same for all three locations. Who knows.?

If one spring is so far off spec I would suggest to try to get a pair of new springs if they are available.

Yes most likely, considering the fact that there’s so many extra ones everywhere else.
I’ve enquired about replacements, so hopefully should be able to get them
