Hyundai Kona Rear Springs: Specs, Fitment & Common Faults
Genuinely worth knowing: the hybrid's extra battery weight is a real engineering consideration for the rear spring, even where a lower-than-expected ride height might otherwise look like sagging.

A Part That Fails Quietly, Then Suddenly
A rear spring often sags gradually for months without an obvious symptom beyond a slightly lower ride height, then fails suddenly at the coil's end with an audible clunk. On hybrid variants, a lower rear ride height than a non-hybrid equivalent can be a normal characteristic of the added battery weight rather than purely a sign of sagged springs — worth bearing this in mind before assuming a fault.
Hyundai Kona Rear Springs: OEM Part Number
| Petrol/non-hybrid, standard rate | Genuinely a different spring from the hybrid version below — confirm powertrain and side before ordering |
|---|---|
| Hybrid | May carry a different spring rate to help support the added battery weight — confirm via VIN rather than assuming the non-hybrid spring is a like-for-like fit |
Replacing just one Hyundai Kona rear spring is a false economy: pairing it with an old, sagged spring on the other side produces uneven ride height and a noticeable handling bias.
Hyundai Kona Rear Springs: What It Does
The Hyundai Kona's rear end weight rests on the coil spring, which also absorbs the initial shock of a bump — a separate function from the shock absorber, not a replacement for it. Left sagged or broken, it lowers ride height, potentially skews headlight aim, and can become an MOT failure in severe cases.
