FAQs

What is the main function of this coil spring?

The main function of this coil spring is to support the weight of the vehicle, maintain the correct ride height, and absorb shocks from the road surface to provide a comfortable and stable ride.

Does this coil spring come with any other parts?

This product is typically sold as the coil spring itself. It does not usually include other suspension components like shock absorbers, struts, or isolators, which may need to be purchased separately or are reused from the original assembly.

Should I replace coil springs in pairs?

Yes, it is strongly recommended to replace coil springs in pairs on the same axle (both front or both rear) to ensure balanced handling, maintain consistent ride height, and prevent uneven tire wear.

What is the difference between K-Flex and other spring types?

K-Flex refers to a specific design or technology used by KYB in their suspension springs. While the exact technical differences can be complex, it generally relates to the spring's material, manufacturing process, and performance characteristics, often optimized for ride comfort and durability.

How do I confirm if this part fits my specific CITROËN DS3?

The most reliable way is to use the vehicle fitment tool available on most parts websites by entering your vehicle's make, model, year, and engine size. You can also compare the part number (RA3418) with your existing part or consult your vehicle's service manual, or contact customer support with your VIN.

What is the weight of this coil spring?

The KYB Coil Spring RA3418 weighs approximately 1.93 kg.

Troubleshooting

Uneven ride height or vehicle leaning

Verify that the coil spring is correctly seated on both the lower control arm and the strut mount. Ensure no debris is present in the spring seats. If the issue persists, the spring may have fatigued or there could be an issue with the other side's suspension components.

Clunking or rattling noises from the suspension

Check that the spring is properly seated and that any spring isolators or rubber seats are intact and correctly positioned. Inspect other suspension components, such as bushings, ball joints, and shock absorbers, for wear or damage.

Spring appears damaged or broken

A broken or visibly damaged coil spring requires immediate replacement. Do not drive the vehicle. Replace the affected spring and inspect the corresponding spring on the opposite side of the axle, as it may also be compromised.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The KYB Coil Spring RA3418 is designed as a direct replacement part. Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic using appropriate safety equipment and tools. The spring is typically installed on the front axle, often requiring the removal of other suspension components to access. It is crucial to ensure the spring is correctly seated in its perches before reassembling the suspension.

Compatibility: This coil spring is specifically listed for CITROËN DS3 models manufactured between 2010 and 2015, particularly those equipped with 1.4 HDi 70, 1.4 VTi 95, and 1.6 engines. Always use the vehicle fitment tool or consult with a parts specialist to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle's VIN or full details before purchasing. Cross-references include KILEN 11404 and CITROËN OEM 5002YX.

Care: Coil springs are generally maintenance-free components. However, regular visual inspections of the suspension system for any signs of damage, corrosion, or sagging are recommended during routine vehicle maintenance. Keep the springs clean from excessive dirt and road salt to prevent premature corrosion.
