Ford Mustang Coil Spring Replacement Parts

Yes, the Ford Mustang uses coil springs, though the configuration varies by generation. Earlier generations (pre-2015) used a solid rear axle with coil springs at the rear and MacPherson struts with coil springs at the front, while the sixth-generation Mustang (2015-onwards) introduced an independent rear suspension system, also using coil springs at all four corners. So whichever generation you have, coil springs are genuinely part of the setup.

Both the 2017 and 2019 Mustangs fall within the sixth-generation S550 platform (2015-onwards), so in principle the basic coil spring geometry is shared. However, you should confirm the specific spring with the breaker against your registration, as variants with different suspension tuning may use different spring rates within the same generation. Never assume fitment without that check.

No — the fifth-generation S197 Mustang (2005-2014) and the sixth-generation S550 (2015-onwards) have fundamentally different rear suspension designs; the S197 uses a solid rear axle and the S550 uses independent rear suspension, so rear coil springs are not interchangeable between these generations. Front springs also changed with the platform, so again these will not swap across that boundary. Stick to parts from the same generation as your car.

Trim level alone does not determine coil spring fitment, but engine size and any factory-fitted performance suspension packages can make a difference, since a heavier V8 GT and a turbocharged four-cylinder EcoBoost put different loads through the suspension. The Bullitt and Mach 1 models are worth flagging to the breaker specifically, as they may carry sport-tuned suspension that affects spring rate. Give the breaker your full registration so they can match the correct spring rather than relying on trim name alone.

For front coil springs on a MacPherson strut setup, left and right springs are typically the same part, but it is worth confirming with the breaker for your specific generation and suspension type. Rear springs on the independent rear suspension of the S550 can differ side to side in some configurations, so always specify NS or OS when asking for a rear spring. When in doubt, tell the breaker which corner you need and let them verify against your registration.

A 2014 spring should be compatible with your 2013 car, as both sit within the fifth-generation S197 platform (2005-2014) and share the same suspension architecture. A 2015 spring, however, is from the all-new sixth-generation S550 with independent rear suspension, and will not be a direct replacement. Confirm the exact part with the breaker against both registrations to be sure, especially for the front springs where small mid-generation revisions can occasionally affect fitment.
