Left and Right Are Genuinely Separate Parts — Confirmed by Toyota's Own Catalogue
Genuinely worth knowing: Toyota's own parts catalogue lists rear coil springs as lower-left and lower-right references — distinct, non-interchangeable parts rather than a single spring fitted to either side.
Toyota Auris Rear Springs: A Part That Fails Quietly, Then Suddenly
A rear spring often sags gradually for months without an obvious symptom beyond a slightly lower ride height, then fails suddenly at the coil's end with an audible clunk — worth bearing in mind if you notice one rear corner sitting lower than the other. Toyota's own guidance notes that coil springs aren't especially prone to failure under normal use, but cutting, clamping, or heating a spring genuinely compromises it and can lead to premature failure.
Toyota Auris Rear Springs: OEM Part Number
| Standard trims, lower right | Genuinely a different part number from the lower-left spring — confirm side before ordering |
|---|---|
| Standard trims, lower left | A genuinely different reference from the lower-right spring above |
| Sport-trim spring, where fitted | A genuinely different, stiffer spring from standard trims |
Fitting the Toyota Auris's rear springs one at a time tends to backfire: pairing a fresh spring with a sagged original on the other side leaves the car sitting unevenly and biases handling to one side.
Toyota Auris Rear Springs: What It Does
The Toyota Auris's rear coil spring carries the weight of the car's back end and takes the first hit from any bump, working alongside — not instead of — the shock absorber. Once it sags or breaks, expect a lower ride height, possible headlight aim issues, and in severe cases, an MOT failure.
