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" — distinct, non-interchangeable references rather than a single spring fitted to either side. AWD and front-wheel-drive versions also use different springs, reflecting the differential-equipped rear subframe fitted to AWD cars.
Toyota RAV4 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.
Toyota RAV4 Rear Springs: Watch: Replacing It
OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — rear coil springs (aftermarket) Kilen 64111 / Monroe SP5067
| Rear coil springs (aftermarket) | Kilen 64111 (standard); Kilen 64113; Monroe SP5067 (standard, 295 mm); Sachs 994832 (standard, 297 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 |
| Front-wheel drive, lower right | Genuinely a different part number from the lower-left spring, and from the AWD version below — confirmed as distinct listings in Toyota's own parts catalogue |
| Front-wheel drive, lower left | A genuinely different reference from the lower-right spring above |
| AWD, lower right/left | Genuinely different references from the front-wheel-drive springs, reflecting the differential-equipped rear subframe on AWD cars |
| Hybrid, where distinct from non-hybrid | Confirm via VIN — some generations share references between hybrid and non-hybrid, others use a hybrid-specific spring |
The Toyota RAV4's rear springs should always go in as a pair — fitting one new spring alongside an old, sagged one on the opposite side leaves the car sitting unevenly and biases how it handles.
Toyota RAV4 Rear Springs: What It Does
On the Toyota RAV4, supporting the rear end's weight and absorbing the first impact of a bump is the rear coil spring's job, working alongside the shock absorber rather than doing its job for it. A sagged or broken spring drops ride height, can throw off headlight aim, and in serious cases fails an MOT outright.
