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 — worth bearing in mind if you notice one rear corner sitting lower than the other.

Before you buy: generation and body style both affect spring rate and fitment. Always confirm against your VIN before ordering.

Accuracy note: genuinely worth knowing: rear springs are sold in left/right pairs matched to a specific rate marking — confirm the marking on your existing spring rather than assuming from trim alone.

Standard rate	Confirm your exact generation and side, since PSA Group used multiple distinct rear spring references across most model generations
Estate/higher-load body style, where applicable	Genuinely a stiffer rear spring rate than the equivalent standard body style, to handle the increased load-carrying capacity

Always replace rear springs in pairs — a single new spring paired with an old, sagged one on the other side creates an uneven ride height and handling bias.

What It Does

The rear coil spring supports the weight of the car's rear end and absorbs the initial impact of a bump, working alongside the shock absorber rather than replacing its function. A sagged or broken spring lowers ride height, can affect headlight aim, and in severe cases is an MOT failure item.
