FAQs

What vehicles is the KYB RA6163 coil spring compatible with?

This coil spring is designed for the rear axle of specific SKODA OCTAVIA II Combi (1Z5), SKODA YETI (5L), and VW TOURAN (1T) models. Please use the vehicle fitment tool or consult your vehicle's manual for exact compatibility.

Should I replace coil springs in pairs?

Yes, it is highly recommended to replace coil springs in pairs (both left and right) on the same axle to ensure balanced handling and prevent uneven wear.

What is the K-Flex range?

The K-Flex range refers to a line of coil springs manufactured by KYB, known for their quality and performance.

Does this come with any installation hardware?

Typically, coil springs are sold individually and do not include new hardware like isolators or mounting bolts. These should be inspected and replaced if necessary during installation.

How do I know if my coil springs need replacing?

Symptoms include a sagging rear end, uneven ride height, excessive bouncing, bottoming out, or clunking noises over bumps. A visual inspection for cracks or corrosion can also indicate wear.

Can I install this myself?

While technically possible, installing coil springs involves significant safety risks and requires specialized tools. Professional installation by a qualified mechanic is strongly advised.

What are the OEM part numbers this cross-references with?

This KYB coil spring is compatible with OEM references such as VW1K0511115CR, 1K0511115DJ, and 1K0511115DK.

Troubleshooting

Vehicle sits unevenly after installation.

Ensure the coil spring is properly seated in its spring perches at both the top and bottom. Verify that the correct spring was installed for the side (left/right) and axle. If issues persist, consult a professional mechanic.

New spring is making noise.

Check that all mounting hardware is tightened correctly. Ensure the spring isolators or rubber boots are in place and in good condition. Some settling noises might be normal initially, but persistent or loud noises indicate a potential installation error or component issue.

Ride height is still too low or incorrect.

Confirm that the correct part number was installed and that it is compatible with your vehicle's specific trim and options. Sometimes, suspension sag is due to multiple worn components; other parts of the suspension may also need replacement.
