OEM Mitsubishi Coil Springs

Coil Springs at a Glance

Coil springs support your Mitsubishi's weight and set its ride height. Genuine replacement springs are rated for your specific model and equipment, helping restore factory ride quality, handling, and alignment.

What Coil Springs Do Every Mile

Every time you hit a bump, your coil springs compress and rebound while your shocks and struts control that movement. Over years of loads, potholes, and road salt, springs can sag, corrode, or crack. A sagging spring lowers ride height, can throw off alignment, and may cause tires to wear unevenly. A broken spring is a safety concern and should be addressed right away.

Why Factory-Rated Springs Matter

Spring rates are matched to your vehicle's weight, which can vary with engine, drivetrain, and equipment. Genuine Mitsubishi coil springs are built to those specs, so your vehicle sits at the intended height and handles the way it was designed to. Universal or mismatched springs can change ride height, affect headlight aim, and load suspension components like control arms and ball joints differently than intended.

Signs You Need New Coil Springs

• One corner sits lower than the others
• Clunking over bumps or when turning
• The suspension bottoms out more easily
• Visible rust, cracks, or a broken coil

Coil springs are usually replaced in pairs on the same axle so both sides sit evenly. Spring work involves stored energy and often requires a spring compressor, so it's a job best left to a qualified technician. Plan on an alignment afterward. While the suspension is apart, it's also a good time to check sway bar links and bushings, since worn pieces can cause similar clunking noises.

Fitment Tips for Mitsubishi Coil Springs

Springs vary by model, model year, front or rear position, drivetrain, and trim. Enter your VIN to see springs rated for your vehicle. If you want to change ride height on purpose, look at lift kits or lowering kits instead of standard replacement springs.

Coil Spring Takeaways

• Coil springs carry vehicle weight and set ride height.
• Replace springs in pairs on the same axle.
• Genuine springs are rated for your model's weight and equipment.
• Get an alignment after replacement.

Coil Spring Questions Owners Ask

How long do coil springs last?

Many last a long time, but rust, heavy loads, and rough roads shorten their life. Inspect them during suspension service.

Should I replace struts at the same time?

If the struts are worn, replacing them together can save labor since the assembly is already apart.

Can a weak spring affect tire wear?

Yes. Sagging changes alignment angles, which can cause uneven wear.

Does adding heavy accessories affect my springs?

Regularly carrying heavy loads, roof cargo, or towing adds stress over time. Stay within your vehicle's rated capacity listed in the owner's manual, and inspect springs more often if you haul or tow regularly.
