Parts for your 2023 Toyota Camry-Coil springs

2023 Toyota Camry coil springs — what they do and when to replace them

Coil springs are absolutely used on the 2023 Toyota Camry. Technical references such as the Toyota Repair Manual for the AXVA70/AXVH70 series list “Front Shock Absorber with Coil Spring” and “Rear Coil Spring” components, and Toyota’s own product information for the TNGA-K platform confirms a MacPherson strut front and double-wishbone/multi-link rear setup, both of which rely on coil springs. So coil springs are relevant, fitted, and essential on a 2023 Camry.

On a 2023 Camry, the coil springs carry the vehicle’s weight, set the ride height, and work with the struts and shocks to soak up bumps so the tyres stay planted. That means confident cornering on winding Kiwi backroads and a comfy commute on Aussie motorways. Because the Camry runs MacPherson struts up front and a multi-link/double-wishbone style rear, the springs are tightly matched to the shock absorbers, mounts and bushings for a balanced ride and crisp handling.

They’re not a frequent service item, but they do age. A quick visual check at regular services is a smart move: look for broken coils, heavy rust or pitting, chipped paint with exposed steel, or a car that sits lower on one corner. Listen for clunks over speed humps or feel for a floaty, bouncy ride. If one spring is damaged or sagged, replace springs in pairs on the same axle to keep the Camry sitting level and tracking straight.

Handy tips for owners:

• Have the suspension inspected annually or every 20,000 km, especially if the car tows, carries heavy loads, or sees rough roads.
• If you’re replacing struts/shocks, consider fresh springs, top mounts, bearings, insulators and bump stops at the same time for best results.
• Always get a wheel alignment after suspension work to protect tyre wear and steering feel.
• Avoid overloading, ease over kerbs and speed humps, and rinse off coastal salt to reduce corrosion.

DIY? Compressed coil springs store serious energy—use the right compressor and safety gear, or leave it to a qualified workshop. For hybrid variants, spring rates can differ due to battery mass, so order by VIN to get the correct part. With the right springs fitted and checked on schedule, a 2023 Camry will ride quietly, corner neatly, and keep tyres gripping just the way it should.

FAQs

Does the 2023 Toyota Camry have coil springs front and rear?
Yes. The Camry’s TNGA-K suspension uses a MacPherson strut front and a multi-link/double-wishbone rear, each with coil springs integrated into the design. They support the vehicle, set ride height and work with the dampers to control movement.

How long do Camry coil springs last?
There’s no fixed interval. Many last well over 150,000 km, but corrosion, heavy loads and rough surfaces can shorten life. Inspect at each service, replace if there’s a crack, sagging ride height, or abnormal noise.

Should coil springs be replaced with shocks/struts?
Not always, but it’s often good practice. If the vehicle has high kilometres or there’s visible wear, pairing new springs with fresh struts/shocks, mounts and insulators restores ride height and handling in one hit, followed by a proper alignment.
