Mercedes-Benz Coil Springs

Coil Springs at a Glance

This category includes genuine Mercedes-Benz front and rear coil springs, spring pads, and related hardware for select models. OEM springs are matched to each model's weight, suspension tuning, and ride height, helping preserve the original handling and comfort.

Coil springs support the vehicle's weight and work with shocks and struts to control ride and handling. Over time, springs can sag or break, leading to uneven ride height, clunking over bumps, or irregular tire wear. Replacing them with the correct springs keeps the suspension working as intended.

Springs, Pads, and Suspension Hardware

• Front coil springs
• Rear coil springs
• Spring pads and isolators
• Spring seats and mounting hardware
• Springs for standard and sport suspension variants

Why Spring Rate and Ride Height Favor Genuine Parts

Mercedes-Benz specifies coil springs for each model based on vehicle weight, engine, drivetrain, and suspension package. Genuine springs are designed to those rates and lengths, which helps maintain ride height, alignment, and the intended balance between comfort and control. Aftermarket springs may sit higher or lower or change ride quality, and lowering springs can affect alignment and suspension wear.

Choosing the Correct Coil Springs for Your Model

Enter your year, model, trim, and engine, then note your suspension type, such as standard, sport, or AMG. Engine weight and 4MATIC can change spring selection even within one model. A part number from the existing spring or a service record, combined with your VIN, helps confirm the correct match.

Suspension Packages and Equipment Differences

Spring fitment varies by model, body style, engine, drivetrain, and suspension package. Vehicles with air suspension use different components and do not use conventional coil springs on that axle. Confirm fitment before purchase, replace springs in axle pairs, and check sway bars and control arms while the suspension is apart.

Coil Spring Shopping Essentials

• Includes front and rear springs, pads, and hardware.
• OEM springs match original rate, length, and ride height.
• Engine, drivetrain, and suspension package affect fitment.
• Replace springs in pairs on the same axle.
• Air-suspension models use different components.

Mercedes-Benz Coil Spring Questions

What are the signs of a broken coil spring?

Uneven ride height, clunking over bumps, or one corner sitting lower than the others are common signs.

Should coil springs be replaced in pairs?

Yes. Replacing both springs on the same axle helps keep ride height and handling even.

Are OEM springs better than lowering springs?

OEM springs preserve the original ride height and tuning. Lowering springs change suspension geometry and may affect comfort and component wear.

Can I replace coil springs myself?

Springs are under heavy load and require proper compressor tools. A qualified technician is recommended.

Do I need an alignment after replacing springs?

An alignment check is recommended, since ride height changes can affect wheel alignment.
