Fitment on a used coil spring varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
No — these are completely different generations. The 2005 car is a W169 (second-generation A-Class, produced 2004–2012), while the 2013 car is a W176 (third-generation, produced 2012–2018), and the two share no meaningful running gear. You need springs matched to your W176, so always quote your registration to the breaker.
It can do, because heavier or more powerful variants are sometimes given stiffer spring rates to suit the extra weight or performance. On the W176 (2012–2018) in particular, different engine options could affect spring specification, so always confirm the exact springs against your registration rather than assuming all engines share the same part. A good breaker will cross-reference by VIN to be sure.
Trim level alone does not determine spring fitment — the generation and engine are the factors that matter most. That said, sport-biased trims like Sport and AMG Line may have been fitted with different suspension rates or lowered springs from the factory, so whether springs from an SE will correctly match an AMG Line car is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration rather than assume.
Yes, both fall within the W176 generation (2012–2018), so you are at least in the right generation family. However, there was a facelift around 2015 and spring specifications can sometimes vary within a generation, so rather than assuming any W176 spring is a straight swap, have the breaker check the exact part number against your registration to be safe.
Yes, absolutely — front and rear springs are entirely different parts and are not interchangeable. Be clear about which end you need, and if it is a front spring also specify nearside (NS, left) or offside (OS, right), as some applications differ side to side. Give the breaker your full registration so they can confirm the correct spring for your exact car.
Yes, the W169 A-Class uses coil springs as part of its suspension setup, so this is a genuine part you can source from a breaker. The W169 ran from 2004 to 2012, so make sure any springs you are quoted come from the same generation. Confirm the engine size and your exact registration with the breaker, as spring rates can vary across the range and a mid-generation change cannot be ruled out.
