FAQs

What does 'K-Flex' mean?

K-Flex refers to KYB's specific coil spring technology, designed to provide optimal performance and durability.

Do I need to replace both front springs?

Yes, it is strongly recommended to replace coil springs in pairs on the same axle to maintain balanced handling and prevent uneven ride height.

How do I confirm if RA1144 fits my VW Passat B6?

Use the vehicle fitment tool on our website or consult your vehicle's owner manual and compare with the specified OEM reference (VW3C0411105M) and model year range (05/2007-07/2010).

Can I install this spring myself?

Coil spring installation is complex and potentially dangerous without the correct tools and expertise. Professional installation by a qualified mechanic is highly recommended for safety and proper function.

What is the warranty on this KYB coil spring?

Please refer to the product listing or contact customer support for specific warranty details, as warranty terms can vary.

Will this spring change my car's handling characteristics significantly?

The goal of this spring is to restore original handling. If your vehicle has non-standard suspension modifications, the result might differ from the original feel.

What other parts are typically replaced with coil springs?

Often, it's recommended to inspect and potentially replace strut mounts, bearings, and dust boots during coil spring replacement to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the repair.

Troubleshooting

Vehicle rides unevenly after installation.

Ensure springs were installed in pairs on the same axle and that proper seating was achieved. Double-check torque specifications.

New springs seem too stiff or too soft.

Verify that the correct part number (RA1144) was installed and is compatible with your vehicle's original suspension specifications. Consult fitment guides or a professional.

Noise from the front suspension.

Check that all associated suspension components (mounts, bushings, isolators) are correctly installed and tightened. The spring seat or top mount might be misaligned.

Difficulty during installation.

Coil spring installation requires specific tools, such as a spring compressor. If unsure, do not attempt installation and consult a qualified mechanic.
