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:
The Sharan does use coil springs, but only at the rear — the front suspension on both the first-generation (1995–2010) and second-generation (2010–2022) Sharan uses a MacPherson strut arrangement that incorporates a coil spring as part of the strut assembly, while the rear uses separate coil springs over dampers. So when buying used, it is worth being clear with the breaker whether you need a front strut spring or a standalone rear coil spring, as these are quite different components.
No — the first-generation Sharan (1995–2010) and the second-generation Sharan (2010–2022) are completely different platforms, so the springs are not interchangeable between generations. Always make sure the breaker's parts come from the same generation as your car, and confirm against your registration to be certain.
Trim level alone — whether SE, SE-L, or Sport — does not typically change the coil spring specification on the Sharan, as these are cosmetic and feature distinctions rather than structural ones. However, sport or lowered suspension variants can carry different spring rates, so confirm with the breaker whether the donor vehicle had standard or any sport/adaptive suspension fitted before purchasing.
On the second-generation Sharan (2010–2022), different engine options can result in slightly different front spring rates to account for varying weight over the front axle, so a 2.0 TDI or petrol engine variant may not share the same spring spec as a lighter engine. It is worth telling the breaker your exact engine size and fuel type so they can match from the correct donor vehicle rather than assuming all springs are universal across the range.
The second-generation Sharan received a facelift around 2015, and while this was primarily cosmetic and equipment-related, mid-generation running gear revisions can sometimes affect suspension components. Whether any spring specification changed at that point is something to confirm with the breaker against your exact registration rather than assume either way.
For rear coil springs on the Sharan, left and right are often the same part, but this is not guaranteed across all variants and years, so it is always worth specifying nearside (NS, left) or offside (OS, right) when speaking to the breaker. For front springs, which sit within the strut assembly, the same NS/OS distinction applies, so give the breaker your side as well as your registration to avoid any mismatch.
