Ford P100 Coil Spring Replacement Parts

The Ford P100 pickup uses a coil spring front suspension setup, so yes, coil springs do exist on this vehicle at the front axle. However, the rear suspension uses leaf springs rather than coil springs, so if you need rear springs you will be searching for a different part entirely. Make sure you specify front when contacting a breaker, and confirm whether you need the nearside (NS) or offside (OS) spring.

The Ford P100 ran from 1983 through to 1992 in the UK, based on the Ford Sierra/Cortina-derived platform throughout its production run, and there were no generation changes significant enough to create a hard fitment boundary across the range. That said, whether a spring from a specific year crosses into another year without issue is something you should confirm with the breaker against your exact registration, as spring rates and specifications can vary. Give the breaker your reg and ask them to check the part against their donor vehicle.

Engine size can influence suspension tuning on vehicles where weight or power varies significantly, and the P100 was offered with different engines including 1.6, 2.0 petrol and 2.5 diesel units. Whether the spring specification differs between these engine variants is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as spring rates are one of those details that are not always well documented publicly. Don't assume a spring from a 1.6-engined donor will match a 2.5 diesel without checking.

Trim level on its own does not affect coil spring fitment — the front suspension geometry and spring mounting are not changed between trim specifications. You may find cosmetic differences on parts surrounding the suspension depending on the donor vehicle's spec, but the spring itself is not a trim-dependent component. Focus on engine and year when speaking to your breaker rather than worrying about trim names.

Front coil springs on the P100 are generally the same component left and right, unlike some wishbones or struts that are handed, so in most cases a single spring can fit either side. However, you should still confirm this with your breaker before purchasing, as it is always worth double-checking against the specific donor vehicle. If you are replacing one spring, it is also worth considering replacing both fronts at the same time to maintain balanced handling.

Used coil springs from a breaker are a cost-effective option and are the standard way buyers source this part through a marketplace like Findapart. When contacting breakers, ask about the condition of the spring — look out for cracks, corrosion, or significant settling — and check that the donor vehicle's spec matches yours in terms of engine size and year. A reputable breaker will be able to advise on the condition of the part before you commit.
