Yes, it is standard practice and highly recommended to replace rear coil springs in pairs to ensure balanced handling and prevent uneven wear.
K-Flex refers to KYB's specific design and manufacturing process for their suspension springs, indicating a focus on quality and performance consistency.
This measurement (110.5 mm) indicates the thickness or strength of the spring material itself, contributing to its load-bearing capacity and performance characteristics.
This specific coil spring is designed for Ford Fiesta Mk6 models equipped with *sports suspension*. It may not be suitable for models with standard suspension.
The spring has a length of 309 mm, an outer diameter of 109 mm, and a material thickness/strength of 110.5 mm.
No, this coil spring is specifically designed for the *rear* axle. Front and rear suspension components are different.
Typically, vehicles with sports suspension have a lower ride height from the factory and may have specific badging or factory options listed on the vehicle's build sheet or VIN decoder.
Ensure springs were installed in pairs (left and right) and seated correctly. Verify that the spring was fully compressed and seated in its perches. Re-check suspension alignment.
Check that the spring isolators or rubber seats are in place and in good condition. Ensure the spring is correctly seated and not rubbing against any components. Loose suspension components could also be the cause.
Confirm the correct part number was installed and that it matches the vehicle's original specifications for sports suspension. Ensure the spring has fully settled; new springs may take some driving time to reach their final height.
Compatibility Verification: Before installation, confirm that your Ford Fiesta Mk6 model is from 2009 or later, features one of the specified engines (1.0, 1.0 EcoBoost, 1.6 TDCi, 1.25), and is equipped with sports suspension. Verify that the OEM part number on your existing spring matches one of the compatible references: FORD1766937, 1787715, C1BC5560ABA, or C1BC5560ABB.
Installation: Replacing coil springs is a critical safety procedure that requires specialized tools and knowledge. It is highly recommended to have this part installed by a qualified mechanic. The process typically involves safely lifting the vehicle, releasing tension from the suspension, removing the old spring, and installing the new one. Always replace coil springs in pairs (left and right) to maintain even suspension geometry.
Care: Coil springs are designed for durability and require minimal direct care. However, regular visual inspection of the suspension system for any signs of damage, corrosion, or sagging is advised. Ensure tires are properly inflated and the vehicle's alignment is checked periodically, especially after suspension work.
