Used coil springs vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
No – the G-Class (W460, W461, W463, and the current W464) uses a solid-axle suspension at both front and rear, and those axles are sprung with coil springs front and rear, so coil springs do genuinely exist on this model across all generations. If your spring has broken or sagged, a used coil spring from a dismantler is a legitimate search.
The W463 ran from 1989 through to 2018, while the current W464 launched in 2018 with a comprehensively re-engineered chassis despite looking similar from the outside – the two generations do not share suspension geometry and their coil springs are not interchangeable. Always quote your registration to the breaker and confirm the generation matches exactly before buying.
It can do, because the G-Class range spans everything from lighter diesel four-cylinders through to the AMG V8 variants, and heavier or more powerful vehicles can carry different spring rates to suit the extra weight and performance. The generation (W460, W461, W463, or W464) is the primary fitment factor, but you should confirm the specific spring rate and any AMG or uprated suspension variants directly with the breaker against your registration number.
Trim and badge alone do not determine fitment in the way that engine size and weight do, but the AMG G63 with its V8 and associated chassis tuning may carry different spring specifications to a standard G350d diesel. Confirm with the breaker whether the donor vehicle's engine and suspension spec matches yours, rather than relying on trim name alone.
Both years fall within the long-running W463 generation (1989–2018), so they share the same basic chassis architecture and coil springs are broadly within the same family. However, mid-generation specification changes, AMG variants, and different engine fitments can affect spring rates, so confirm the donor vehicle's engine size and suspension spec with the breaker against your registration before purchasing.
For most suspension designs, left and right springs are identical on a solid-axle vehicle like the G-Class, but it is worth confirming this with the breaker for your specific model year and specification. Always mention which corner the spring is from when requesting a quote, just to be certain.
