Parts for your 2006 Honda Elysion-Coil springs

2006 Honda Elysion coil springs — what they do and how to look after them

Coil springs are absolutely relevant on the 2006 Honda Elysion. Technical references including the Honda Elysion (RR1–RR4, 2004–2009) workshop manual and Honda’s Electronic Parts Catalogue list front and rear coil springs as standard suspension components, paired with the shock/strut assemblies to set ride height and support the vehicle. So if someone’s searching for Elysion coil springs, they’re on the right track.

On this MPV, the coil springs carry the body’s weight, soak up bumps, and help keep the tyres planted so the family stays comfy and the van stays tidy through corners. They also maintain the correct ride height for proper headlight aim, driveshaft and suspension geometry, and even braking performance. When the springs get tired or damaged, the ride drops, the Elysion can feel floaty or crashy, and other parts like shocks and bushings cop extra grief.

Springs aren’t a regular “service item”, but they deserve a look any time the Elysion’s on a hoist. In Australian and New Zealand conditions—coastal air, corrugations, and the odd gravel road—surface rust, chipped paint, and salt exposure can all shorten spring life. Periodic washing underneath after beach trips helps, and chasing off flaking rust before it bites too deep is a smart move.

• Common signs they’re due: sagging or uneven ride height, a harsh or bouncy ride, clunks over bumps, cracked or broken coils, excessive rust, or fresh shiny steel showing where a coil has snapped. Uneven tyre wear and nose-dive under braking can also hint at tired springs.

When it’s time to replace, do them in axle pairs (both fronts or both rears) to keep the handling balanced. Match springs to the exact trim, engine, and drivetrain (2WD or 4WD) of the Elysion, the Honda parts data groups springs by spec for a reason. Pair new springs with healthy shocks, and inspect top mounts, bearings, rubber isolators, bump stops and dust boots. Torque suspension bolts at normal ride height, then get a wheel alignment.

DIYers should only compress springs with quality compressors and the right technique—stored energy is no joke. If the Elysion regularly carries big loads or tows, consider heavy-duty or auxiliary solutions that are compliant. Any ride-height change should meet local rules (ADR/roadworthy in AU, WOF/cert in NZ) to avoid headaches.

Popular questions about 2006 Honda Elysion coil springs

Does the 2006 Honda Elysion use coil springs front and rear?
Yes. Factory documentation (Honda workshop manual and Honda EPC for RR1–RR4) lists coil springs at both ends, working with the shock/strut assemblies to set ride height and support the vehicle.

How often should coil springs be replaced on a 2006 Elysion?
There’s no set interval. Many last well beyond 150,000–250,000 kilometres, but coastal use, heavy loads, and rough roads can accelerate wear. Replace if they’re cracked, sagging, corroded badly, or if the ride and handling have noticeably deteriorated—always in pairs per axle.

Can the Elysion be lowered or lifted with different springs?
It can, but use springs designed for the exact model and keep changes modest to protect ride, tyre wear, and geometry. Any height change must comply with local regulations (ADR/roadworthy in Australia, WOF/certification in New Zealand). A post-fitment alignment is essential.
