Parts for your 2015 Mitsubishi Asx-Coil springs

2015 Mitsubishi ASX coil springs — purpose, care and replacement

Coil springs are absolutely used on the 2015 Mitsubishi ASX. Technical references including the Mitsubishi ASX/RVR/Outlander Sport workshop manual for GA2W/GA3W models, the 2015 owner’s manual suspension section, and Mitsubishi’s 2015 ASX product brochure specify MacPherson struts with coil springs up front. Rear suspension is either a torsion-beam (2WD) or multi-link (AWD), both employing separate coil springs. So coil springs are relevant to every 2015 ASX variant.

On this ASX, the coil springs carry the vehicle’s weight, set the ride height, and work with the shocks/struts to absorb bumps and keep the tyres planted. Good springs mean a comfy ride on coarse-chip roads, steady cornering through wet roundabouts, and proper braking stability when the car’s loaded up for a long weekender.

During servicing, it’s smart to have the coil springs inspected for sagging, cracked coils, chipped paint, corrosion (especially on coastal cars), and perished rubber seats/isolators. A clunk over bumps, a droopy corner, or uneven tyre wear can point to a tired or broken spring. If towing, carrying gear, or driving plenty of corrugated or unsealed roads, checks should be more frequent.

When it’s time to replace, springs should be fitted in axle pairs to keep the ride height and handling balanced. Always match the correct spec for the exact ASX variant (engine, 2WD vs AWD, and trim) because rates and free lengths differ. Any spring replacement on the front MacPherson struts requires a quality spring compressor and careful handling—this is a job many owners sensibly leave to a licensed technician.

After new springs go in, a wheel alignment is recommended to keep tyre wear tidy and the steering tracking straight. It’s also worth renewing worn strut mounts, bearings and rubber isolators at the same time, as they’re inexpensive compared with the labour to go back in later.

• Service tip: ask for a suspension inspection at each regular service or at least every 20,000 km.
• Watch for rust flaking off the coils, shiny metal where coils have been contacting, and oil-soaked rubber seats (a sign a damper may be leaking onto the spring area).
• In heavy-use or outback conditions, consider springs designed for constant load rather than simply raising the ride height.

Popular questions about 2015 Mitsubishi ASX coil springs

Do all 2015 ASX models have coil springs front and rear?
Yes. The front uses MacPherson struts with coil springs across the range. The rear is coil-sprung too—either a torsion-beam (2WD) or multi-link (AWD) layout, both paired with separate coil springs.

How long do the coil springs last on a 2015 ASX?
Many last well beyond 150,000 km, but life depends on loads, roads and corrosion exposure. If you notice sagging, a broken coil, knocking noises, or uneven ride height, it’s time to replace—ideally in pairs on the same axle.

Can they be replaced at home?
It’s possible with the right tools, especially a proper spring compressor for the front struts, but there are safety risks. Most owners use a qualified mechanic and then get a wheel alignment after fitment.
