Coil spring Part # confirmation help
Good afternoon, I have a snapped front coil spring and am looking for confirmation on a part #. I have a 2012 3.5L fx4 with the max tow package. Per Ford parts website when entering my VIN # the spring code is 5310 VA, however when searching on Tasca parts site the only letters following code 5310 are v OR a, not both letters. If anyone can confirm part # for me it would be much appreciated. Links to ford parts site and Tasca page below for reference. Thanks again.

It is probably best to call a dealership with your VIN. The engineering numbers on the factory springs are all over the map. Springs on the same truck manufactured at different times of the year and options are different. I am not sure if the spring rate varies, but a betting man would have to assume they are different based on engine type, 4x4 or 4x2. They could change based on wheel base too. All speculation, but I tried several years ago to buy used springs to swap OEM for Bilstein 5100. Every factory takeoff had a different number and I gave up trying to determine if they matched my factory springs.
