Hyundai Ioniq 5 Coil Spring Replacement Parts

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 (2021 onwards) does not use conventional coil springs on either axle — it uses a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension, both of which rely on integrated coil-over spring and damper units rather than separate, freestanding coil springs as found on older designs. When breakers list coil springs for the Ioniq 5, they are referring to the spring element of these strut or multi-link assemblies, which may be sold as part of a complete strut or shock absorber unit rather than as a bare spring alone. If you need the spring itself, clarify with the breaker whether they are supplying the spring separately or as part of a complete assembly, and confirm which axle — front or rear — you need.

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 has been sold in the UK from 2021 in its first generation, with a notable updated model (the Ioniq 5 N and a refreshed standard range) arriving around 2023–2024; whether the suspension spring components are interchangeable across that boundary is something you should confirm directly with the breaker against your exact registration, as spring rates and specifications can vary. The core platform and suspension layout remained consistent across the standard Ioniq 5's first-generation run, so there is a reasonable chance of compatibility, but this is not guaranteed. Always give the breaker your registration number so they can verify the correct part.

Trim level alone — whether your car is Premium, Ultimate, or a special edition like Project 45 — does not determine the spring specification; what matters more is the drivetrain variant, specifically whether your Ioniq 5 is rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, since the AWD model has a heavier powertrain that can affect suspension tuning. Front and rear springs should also not be mixed up, so always confirm the axle (front or rear) and the drivetrain (RWD or AWD) with the breaker. If your car has any optional sport or adaptive suspension, confirm this against your registration with the breaker, as spring rates on those variants may differ.

Yes, this is one of the most important things to check — the AWD Ioniq 5 has an additional front motor adding weight to the front axle, which means the front suspension on AWD cars may be tuned differently to the RWD version, and springs from one drivetrain variant may not be correctly rated for the other. Always tell the breaker whether your car is RWD or AWD, and provide your registration to make sure they match the correct specification. Do not assume that springs from any Ioniq 5 will suit yours without confirming the drivetrain match.

On most Ioniq 5 suspension configurations the springs themselves are symmetrical side-to-side, so nearside and offside are not typically different parts — however, the strut or shock absorber assembly they form part of may be side-specific due to mounting geometry, so if you are buying a complete strut unit you should specify NS (driver's side in the UK is the right, offside) or OS (passenger's side is nearside) as appropriate. Even if the bare spring is the same both sides, it is always worth confirming with the breaker whether what they are supplying is spring-only or a complete assembly, and noting which side you need to avoid any confusion.
