Information on weight codes (code number)
Coil spring assemblies are classified according to weight codes (code number) so that suspension components can be matched easily.
The coil spring assembly installed in the vehicle is indicated by the weight code on the vehicle data label.
Example of vehicle data label
A - Weight code for front suspension
B - Weight code for rear suspension
The vehicle data label is located in the spare wheel recess and in the vehicle Maintenance booklet.
The weight codes can be used to identify the correct coil spring assemblies.
