Peugeot 208 Rear Springs: Specs, Fitment & Common Faults
A part that fails quietly, then suddenly — sagging gradually before a sudden, audible failure.
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.
OEM Part Numbers
| 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.
