FAQs

Why must I replace coil springs in pairs?

Replacing in pairs ensures that the vehicle maintains a level ride height and identical spring rates on both sides, which is critical for safe handling and braking.

Can I install this spring myself?

Coil springs are under significant tension and require specialized tools. It is strongly recommended to have them installed by a professional to avoid serious injury.

What is the wire diameter of this spring?

The Febi Bilstein 46832 has a wire diameter of 9.5 mm.

Does this replace my original Smart OEM spring?

Yes, it is designed to be a direct replacement for OEM part numbers 0007502V002 and A0007502V002.

What happens if I only replace one spring?

Doing so creates an imbalance in the vehicle's suspension geometry, which can lead to uneven tire wear, pulling to one side, and unpredictable handling.

Troubleshooting

Vehicle ride height remains uneven after installation

Ensure that the springs are seated correctly in the lower and upper control arm perches and verify that they were replaced in pairs.

Clunking or rattling noise from the rear suspension

Check that the spring is correctly oriented in the mount and inspect other suspension links, bushings, and shock mounts for wear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Matches exact OEM specifications for a seamless installation
  • High-quality material prevents premature sagging or failure
  • Restores original suspension dampening characteristics
  • Reliable alternative to dealer-purchased components

Cons

  • Requires professional installation for safety reasons
  • Must be purchased and installed in pairs, increasing initial project cost
  • Compatibility is limited to specific Smart vehicle configurations

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before installation, use your VIN to verify that your Smart vehicle model is listed as compatible with OEM parts 0007502V002 or A0007502V002. This component involves the compression of high-tension steel and should only be handled by a qualified mechanic using appropriate spring compressors. During installation, inspect the surrounding suspension components, such as rubber bump stops and spring seats, for signs of dry rot or cracking, and replace them if necessary to prevent noise. No specific maintenance is required for the spring itself, but periodic visual inspections for signs of heavy corrosion or mechanical damage are recommended during standard tire rotations or oil changes.
