Used Ford Ranger Coil Spring

The Ford Ranger uses a mix of suspension types depending on the axle: the front suspension on the Ranger uses coil springs (with a double-wishbone or torsion bar setup depending on generation), while the rear axle uses leaf springs on all generations sold in the UK. If you're looking for a rear spring, you'll want to search for a leaf spring rather than a coil spring. For the front, coil springs do exist and the guidance below applies.

These two trucks fall in different generations: the Ranger T6 ran from 2011 to 2022 in broad terms, but a significant mid-life refresh arrived around 2015–2016, and another facelift came in 2019. Front coil springs from a pre-facelift T6 and a 2019-facelift T6 may look similar, but whether they interchange correctly across that 2019 boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against your exact registration, as spring rates and geometry can vary with updates. Never assume a match without the breaker verifying against your reg.

The Ranger has been sold in the UK primarily with 2.0-litre and 3.2-litre (five-cylinder) diesel engines across the T6 generation, and the heavier 3.2 can carry different front spring specifications to cope with the extra engine weight. It is worth telling the breaker which engine you have so they can check the part matches, rather than assuming all T6 springs are identical. Confirming against your registration is the safest approach.

Trim level alone — whether that's XL, XLT, Limited, or Wildtrak — does not in itself determine which coil spring you need, so don't be put off if a breaker's spring came from a different trim. What matters is the generation, the engine, and the drivetrain; that said, if your vehicle has a factory suspension upgrade or sport-tuned dampers you should confirm with the breaker, as spring rates on optioned vehicles can differ. Expect no cosmetic differences between springs regardless of trim.

The Ranger has been sold in both 4WD and Hi-Rider (rear-wheel-drive, raised) configurations in the UK, and the front suspension geometry and ride height differ between these layouts, meaning their coil springs are unlikely to be interchangeable. Always tell the breaker whether your Ranger is 4WD or 2WD Hi-Rider, as well as your registration, so they can source the correct spring. Fitting a spring from the wrong drivetrain variant risks incorrect ride height and handling.

Front coil springs on the Ranger are handed — the nearside (NS, left, passenger side) and offside (OS, right, driver side) springs are specific to each side, so always tell the breaker which corner you need. Getting the side wrong is a common and easily avoided mistake, so double-check before you request a quote. Confirming NS or OS along with your registration gives the breaker everything they need to find the right part.
