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. Where AWD is offered on this model, AWD and front-wheel-drive versions also use different springs, reflecting the different rear subframe and driveline layout.

Genuinely worth checking on hybrid models: some spring references are shared across hybrid and non-hybrid versions of the same generation, while others differ — confirm via VIN rather than assuming either way.

Toyota C-HR 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 (sometimes done to lower ride height) genuinely compromises it and can lead to premature failure.

Before you buy: hybrid vs non-hybrid, AWD where offered, and left/right side all potentially affect fitment. Always confirm against your VIN before ordering.

Accuracy note: Covers the Toyota C-HR (2016-) as listed in the UK aftermarket catalogues. Rear coil springs are sold as a pair for the axle and should be replaced as a pair, because a new spring beside a tired one leaves the car sitting unevenly. The right spring depends on the engine and gearbox, the suspension type (standard, sport or heavy-duty) and, on some cars, the body style. The references below are UK aftermarket catalogue listings for this generation, labelled by brand with the fitment details the catalogue gives; carmakers rarely publish the genuine number against these, so match a genuine spring against your VIN if you want a guaranteed fit. genuinely worth knowing: rear springs are listed by Toyota as lower-left and lower-right references specifically — not a generic "rear spring" part covering both sides.

Rear coil springs (aftermarket)	Monroe SP4889 (398 mm); Sachs 992473; Suplex 35580 (standard, 405 mm); Stark SKCS-0040452 (370 mm)
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	None quoted in the catalogue listings — the genuine spring varies by engine, suspension type and body style, so order it against your VIN
Non-hybrid, lower right	Genuinely a different part number from the lower-left spring, and potentially from the hybrid version below — confirm side and powertrain before ordering
Non-hybrid, lower left	A genuinely different reference from the lower-right spring above
Hybrid, where distinct from non-hybrid	Confirm via VIN — some generations share references between hybrid and non-hybrid, others use a hybrid-specific spring

Replacing just one Toyota C-HR rear spring is a false economy: pairing it with an old, sagged spring on the other side produces uneven ride height and a noticeable handling bias.

Toyota C-HR Rear Springs: What It Does

The Toyota C-HR's rear end weight rests on the coil spring, which also absorbs the initial shock of a bump — a separate function from the shock absorber, not a replacement for it. Left sagged or broken, it lowers ride height, potentially skews headlight aim, and can become an MOT failure in severe cases.
