FAQs

What is the primary function of a coil spring?

Coil springs support the vehicle's weight, absorb shocks from the road, and maintain the vehicle's ride height and suspension geometry.

Why should coil springs be replaced in pairs?

Replacing coil springs in pairs ensures that the weight distribution on each side of the vehicle is balanced. Replacing only one can lead to uneven handling, steering pull, and compromised stability.

What are the dimensions of this coil spring?

This coil spring has a length of 353 mm, an outer diameter of 154 mm, a wire diameter of 13 mm, and features 4.8 coils.

What OE part numbers does this Febi Bilstein spring replace?

It replaces Mercedes-Benz OE part numbers A2043212404 and 2043212404.

Can I install this coil spring myself?

Installation requires specialized tools and expertise in suspension systems. It is highly recommended to have a qualified mechanic perform the installation.

What vehicles is this coil spring compatible with?

This spring is designed for the front axle of Mercedes-Benz C320 S204 and W204 models with a 3.0D engine, manufactured between 2007 and 2014.

How do I know if my coil springs need replacing?

Signs include a sagging front end, uneven tire wear, a rougher ride than usual, and visible damage or corrosion on the springs themselves.

Troubleshooting

Uneven ride height after installation

Ensure both front springs were replaced simultaneously and are correctly seated. Verify that no other suspension components are worn or damaged.

Vehicle pulling to one side

This often indicates a problem with replacing springs in pairs or an issue with wheel alignment. Re-check spring installation and have the wheel alignment performed by a professional.

Unusual noises from the suspension

Check that the spring is properly seated and that any rubber isolators or spring seats are in good condition and correctly positioned. Inspect for any interference with other components.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This coil spring is specifically designed for the front axle of Mercedes-Benz C320 S204 and W204 models equipped with a 3.0D engine, manufactured between 2007 and 2014. It replaces OE part numbers A2043212404 and 2043212404. Always verify your vehicle's specific fitment before purchase.

Setup: Installation requires specialized tools and knowledge of automotive suspension systems. It is strongly recommended that this part be installed by a qualified mechanic. For safety and optimal performance, coil springs must be replaced in pairs. This means if one front spring is being replaced, the other front spring should be replaced at the same time.

Care: Coil springs are a maintenance-free component under normal operating conditions. However, they are subject to wear and tear. Regular visual inspections of the suspension system during routine maintenance can help identify any signs of damage, corrosion, or fatigue. Avoid overloading your vehicle beyond its specified capacity, as this can put excessive stress on the springs.
