Used Mercedes-Benz GLE Coil Spring

The GLE is available with both conventional coil spring suspension and optional air suspension (AIRMATIC), so coil springs do genuinely exist on this model but only on variants not fitted with the air suspension package. If your GLE has AIRMATIC, you will need air suspension components rather than coil springs. Check your vehicle's suspension type before searching, as the two systems are not interchangeable.

The W166 GLE ran from 2015 to 2019, while the W167 generation replaced it from 2019 onwards, and these are entirely different platforms with different suspension geometry. A coil spring from a W166 will not interchange with a W167. Always source a spring that matches your generation and confirm the part with the breaker against your registration.

Both the 250d and 350d sit within the W166 generation (2015–2019), but the heavier and more powerful 350d may use a spring with a different rate to suit its greater weight and performance. The generation boundary is not the issue here, but engine and weight differences can affect spring specification. Confirm with the breaker against both registrations before buying.

Trim level alone, such as Sport or AMG Line, does not fundamentally change the coil spring in most cases, as these are cosmetic and equipment grades rather than distinct suspension platforms. However, if a vehicle left the factory with an optional sport suspension or lowered setup under any trim name, the spring rate could differ from a standard car. Because sport suspension differences are not always obvious from a trim badge alone, confirm the specific suspension variant with the breaker against your registration rather than relying on trim name alone.

The GLE Coupé (C167 body) and the standard GLE SUV (W167 body) share the same generation platform from 2019, but the Coupé's different body weight distribution and slightly different ride height mean spring specifications may not be identical. Within the W166 generation, the same applies between the GLE Coupé (C166) and the W166 SUV. Treat these as separate applications and confirm with the breaker against your specific registration and body style.

Yes, front and rear coil springs are completely different parts with different dimensions and spring rates, so you must specify the axle — front or rear — when requesting a quote. On the GLE, also confirm the side (NS nearside or OS offside) for any spring that may be asymmetrically mounted, and always check this with the breaker. Fitting a spring from the wrong axle or position is unsafe and will affect handling.
