Second Hand Ford Fusion Coil Spring

The Ford Fusion sold in the UK (2002–2012) is a supermini-based crossover built on the Fiesta Mk5/Mk6 platform, and it uses a torsion beam rear suspension with coil springs at the front — so yes, front coil springs do exist on this model. The rear axle does not use separate coil springs; it uses an integrated torsion beam setup, so if you are looking for a rear coil spring specifically, that part does not exist on the Fusion. Make sure you know whether you need a front (NS or OS) spring before contacting a breaker.

The Ford Fusion ran as a single generation throughout its UK production life from 2002 to 2012, with no fundamental platform change across that period, so front coil springs from earlier and later cars are generally considered interchangeable within the range. However, there was a facelift around 2005–2006 that brought minor updates, and whether any suspension geometry changes accompanied it is something you should confirm with the breaker against your specific registration before buying. Broadly speaking, a spring from a 2004 car is likely to suit a 2008 car, but don't assume without checking.

The Ford Fusion was offered with a range of engines including 1.25, 1.4, 1.6 petrol and 1.4 and 1.6 TDCi diesels, and in principle heavier or more powerful variants can carry differently rated springs to suit the vehicle's weight. For the Fusion specifically, the engine size differences are relatively modest and the body weight variation is small, but you should still tell the breaker your engine size and ask them to check the spring rating against your registration to be sure. Don't assume all engine variants share identical springs without that confirmation.

Trim level alone does not determine which front coil spring a Ford Fusion needs, so a spring from a Zetec is not automatically a different part to one from a Style or LX on the same engine. Where trims differ it is typically in cosmetics — badges, alloy wheels, interior finish — none of which affects the spring itself. Confirm the engine size matches and check with the breaker against your registration, and you should be fine.

The Ford Fusion shares its platform with the Fiesta Mk5 (2002–2008) and there is a commonly held belief in the trade that front suspension components including coil springs interchange between the two models. This may well be correct, but because the Fusion sits higher and has slightly different ride-height tuning to the standard Fiesta, spring rates may differ even if the physical dimensions match. Ask the breaker to cross-reference both registrations before you buy rather than assuming a Fiesta spring is a straight swap.

Front coil springs on the Ford Fusion are typically the same part left and right, but some vehicles do have side-specific springs depending on subtle geometry or load differences, so it is always worth telling the breaker which side you need (NS for nearside/driver's left, OS for offside/driver's right). A good breaker will confirm whether the part is handed or not for your specific car. Stating the side costs you nothing and avoids any risk of ordering the wrong part.
