FAQs

Which ALFA ROMEO models is this coil spring compatible with?

This KYB RA6108 coil spring is designed for the rear axle of the ALFA ROMEO MITO (955_) models, specifically those compatible with OEM references ALFA ROMEO 50508838 and 50546746. This includes variants like the 1.3D and 0.9 TwinAir within certain year ranges.

Do I need to replace coil springs in pairs?

For optimal performance, balance, and safety, it is generally recommended to replace suspension springs in pairs (both rear springs at the same time).

Can I install this coil spring myself?

While possible for experienced DIY mechanics, installing suspension components involves significant safety risks if not done correctly. Professional installation by a qualified technician is highly recommended.

What is the expected lifespan of a coil spring?

Coil springs are designed for durability. Their lifespan varies greatly depending on driving conditions, road quality, and vehicle load. They typically last many years but can fail due to rust, fatigue, or damage from impacts.

What does 'OEM references' mean?

OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) references are part numbers used by the vehicle's original manufacturer. Compatibility with these numbers indicates that the replacement part is designed to fit and function like the original part.

Will this spring change my car's handling characteristics?

This spring is designed to restore your vehicle's original ride height and handling. It should not alter handling characteristics beyond bringing them back to factory specifications. If you are seeking performance upgrades, different products would be necessary.

Troubleshooting

Vehicle sits lower than expected after installation.

Ensure the correct spring was installed for your specific model and that it is seated properly. Allow the suspension to settle by driving the vehicle for a short distance. If the issue persists, consult a mechanic.

New noises coming from the rear suspension.

Check that the spring is correctly seated and that all mounting hardware is tightened to specification. Sometimes new components can cause minor initial noises as they settle. If persistent, have the installation checked by a professional.

Handling feels unstable or 'floaty'.

Verify that the spring was installed correctly and that other suspension components (shocks, bushings) are in good condition. Suspension issues can be complex, and professional diagnosis may be needed.
