Hyundai i10 Springs
Whether your i10 is an early or late build, we match the springs to your derivative rather than to the badge. Find quality Hyundai i10 salvage yard at our facility.
What Are Hyundai i10 Springs?
Springs are the steel coils that support the car's weight and absorb bump energy, working alongside the dampers. On Hyundais we see broken coil springs on the i20 and Accent where SA's potholed roads fatigue the metal — usually snapping at the bottom coil with a loud clunk.

i10 Springs: what actually decides fitment
Sold here across PA, then the Grand i10 BA, then AI3, the i10 is not one car for parts purposes — it is several.The original PA i10 and the later Grand i10 are separate platforms with separate parts catalogues — "i10" on its own is not enough to order from.
- 1
Find the generation code on your i10 — it appears on the VIN plate and on the original registration paperwork.
- 2
Confirm the engine family. The i10 ran Epsilon 1.1 (PA), Kappa 1.25 (Grand i10) and Kappa 1.2 (AI3) in this market.

Send both to us with the springs you are after , along with the generation code and whether the car is front- or all-wheel drive. We match it before we quote, not after.
Sourcing note: the i10shares the Kappa petrol family with the Kia Picanto — which widens where we can look when local stock is thin.
In South Africa the i10 is mostly first cars, driving-school fleets and short-hop city work, so components see far more cold starts per thousand kilometres than the odometer suggests. That is the wear pattern we stock and source against.
Before You Order i10 Springs
Will springs from another i10 fit mine?
Not automatically. The i10 sold in South Africa as PA, then the Grand i10 BA, then AI3, and the original PA i10 and the later Grand i10 are separate platforms with separate parts catalogues — "i10" on its own is not enough to order from. Send us the generation code off your VIN plate and we will confirm it either way before anything is dispatched.
How do you check springs actually fits a i10?
We work backwards from the VIN: generation first, then engine family, then whether the car is pre- or post-facelift within that generation. On the i10 specifically, the original PA i10 and the later Grand i10 are separate platforms with separate parts catalogues — "i10" on its own is not enough to order from.
How do I spot a broken coil spring on a Hyundai?
A sudden clunk over potholes, the car sitting down on one corner, uneven tyre wear and sometimes a scrape on full bump. Turn the steering lock-to-lock and look into the arch — a broken spring is usually visible at the bottom coil, which makes this one of the few suspension faults you can confirm yourself in a minute.
Is it safe to drive a Hyundai with a broken spring?
Briefly, at low speed, to get home or to a workshop. Not beyond that — the broken coil can perforate a tyre and damage the strut, and the handling is already compromised. Book it in within a day or two rather than a week.
Why do springs break on South African roads specifically?
Potholes and unsealed shoulders load a spring in ways the road it was designed for never did, and a car that habitually carries weight in the boot settles faster on that axle. It is the single most common suspension failure we see on cars that live outside the metros.
What does a coil spring cost for a Hyundai?
Our SA supplier network stocks Hyundai coil-spring replacements and they are typically inexpensive parts. Labour is the bigger variable, since strut assembly removal takes about an hour a side. Request a free quote with your model and generation for an all-in figure.
Do Hyundai springs have to be replaced in pairs?
On the same axle, yes. A fresh spring next to a settled one leaves the car sitting unevenly and handling worse than before you started. The labour is already committed once the corner is apart, so doing both is the cheaper decision as well as the correct one. If one corner sits low, compare ride height with a tape measure — anything more than 10mm difference warrants a swap.

Let us confirm the springs before you buy
Photos of the old part and your VIN are usually all we need. We confirm the springs against your i10 before quoting, not after.
