The complete guide to replacing rear coil springs in a Volkswagen Passat, Jetta, Golf, and lots of other models. This How To guide will show you everything you need to know to safety and easily replace your Volkswagen Rear Coil Springs at home. Broken coil springs is an extremely common VW failure, but it's not a difficult fix. I'm specifically replacing the rear springs on my 2006 VR6 4-Motion Passat, but the suspension setups are extremely similar for most modern Volkswagens.

I was able to replace the rear coil springs on my 2007 Passat with no issues. The trickiest part was getting the bolt back in the lower control arm. The rear of my car now sits at the proper height again. Thank you very much for this very informative video.

@weskarp7643 4 месяца назад

What was your trick? I have that problem right now.

I watched this video and changed my coil spring in 20 minutes what a lifesaver it was watching this first

@adamv242 2 года назад

Nice. I need to replace the broken coil springs on my mother's 2004 Jetta, and this gave me a good heads up of what to expect.

Replacing rear coil springs on a 2015 VW Golf Sportwagen TDI SEL. Both rear springs broke at the base and still provide support. State Inspection caught the broken springs. Springs on order. Thanks for the video. Hope to do it myself without compression tools? Any guidance would be appreciated!

@markb3756 Год назад

Hi. Was reading your reply and was wondering if you were getting any metal to metal rattling noises coming from the back of the car? Any vibrations? TIA!

@peblum Год назад

@Mark B No. Nothing. Was a straight forward replacement. Both sides must be taken apart at once and once the entire axle is lowered the springs can be removed easily. The level sensor also needs to be unbolted.

Thanks for this, saved me the cost of a spring compressor. Just did my Tiguan and worked a treat. The only issue I had was aligning the swing arm when jacking it back up but got there in the end with the help of a lump hammer. 👍🏼

@calebspaeth4287 Год назад

Good video but there is kinda issue. Please tighten the nut only a little thight, and apply the final amount of torque when the car is back on the ground and at final level, because it can happen, that you "turn" the bushing out of the rear shock. Greetings from Germany !

@luisfernandez7002 Год назад

Great thorough vid. I did my 2012 vw golf, easy as pie but had hand tools so took a bit longer. I would say an impact would of been a lot quicker.

@f458italiano 2 года назад

Great Video! I had a question, My 2010 Mercedes CLS 219 had both its rear coil springs replaced recently as they were fractured. Following replacement, the rear ride height seems to be a few centimetres more than it was previously. Is this normal? In time, will the rear ride height go back to how it was on the old springs that were replaced? Many thanks in advance.

What kind of lubricant did you put on the bottom of that spring? I’m thinking of changing my original rear struts and front struts and adding a 2 inch Bilstein coil spring kit. I’m assuming the installation would be the same?

There's not too much else that you'd need to do with the rear! It's never a bad idea to have new bolts ready in case some break though

@shauncouture1242 3 года назад

My back rear spring just broke, but I’m unsure if I need to repair the entire assembly or just the spring. Do springs usually fail before shock absorbers? Or should I replace it all just to be safe.

@CashedOutCars 3 года назад

What year and mode is it? With lots of FWD cars the shocks and springs are separate units and can be replaced independently

Hi , I drive VW Golf 5 1.4 patrol engine and 80 ps . My RPM goes over 4000 when I am at 140 km in 5th gear . Is it normal? Thanks.

@CashedOutCars 3 года назад

That sounds like it’s probably okay. It’ll depend on gearing. If your speed corresponds to RPM I wouldn’t worry about it, if your RPMs jump and your speed doesn’t then you may have problems
