Cheap Volkswagen Amarok Coil Spring

The Amarok's suspension setup varies by axle: the front uses coil springs over struts on most variants, so coil springs do exist on this model at the front. The rear, however, uses a leaf-spring setup as standard on the Amarok, so if you're looking for a rear spring it will be a leaf spring pack rather than a coil spring. Make sure you know which end you need before requesting quotes from a breaker.

The first-generation Amarok ran from 2010 to 2022, and the second generation launched in 2023 on an entirely new platform shared with the Ford Ranger, so the front suspension geometry changed significantly between generations. A coil spring from the first generation is very unlikely to be compatible with the second-generation car, and you should not assume interchangeability across this boundary. Always confirm the exact generation against your registration with the breaker before ordering.

On the first-generation Amarok, different engine variants — including the 2.0 TDI four-cylinder and the 3.0 V6 TDI — can affect front-end weight distribution and potentially the spring specification fitted. It is worth telling the breaker both your engine size and your registration so they can match the correct spring rate for your variant. Do not assume a spring from a 2.0 TDI will be a straight swap onto a V6 car without checking.

Trim level alone — whether Trendline, Comfortline, Highline, or Aventura on the first-generation Amarok — does not determine which front coil spring is fitted, as running gear is driven by engine and axle specification rather than trim. That said, some higher trims were more commonly optioned with certain engine or suspension packages, so the engine size remains the key detail to confirm. Provide your full registration to the breaker and they can verify the correct part regardless of trim badge.

The first-generation Amarok received a significant update around 2016–2017, which introduced the V6 engine option and revised front-end components, so there is a meaningful mid-generation change to be aware of around that period. Whether a spring from an earlier 2010–2016 car crosses over to your 2017 model is not something to assume, particularly if the engine types differ. Route this question to the breaker with your registration to confirm compatibility before committing to a purchase.

For front coil springs on the Amarok, the spring itself sits within the strut assembly and is generally not side-specific in terms of LHD versus RHD — the fundamental suspension geometry is the same across markets. However, you should still specify NS (nearside, passenger side) or OS (offside, driver side) when speaking to the breaker, as individual spring units can differ side to side on the same car. Confirm with the breaker that the part matches your side and your engine variant before purchasing.
