Honda Jazz 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.
Honda Jazz 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 |
Fitting the Honda Jazz's rear springs one at a time tends to backfire: pairing a fresh spring with a sagged original on the other side leaves the car sitting unevenly and biases handling to one side.
Honda Jazz Rear Springs: What It Does
The Honda Jazz's rear coil spring carries the weight of the car's back end and takes the first hit from any bump, working alongside — not instead of — the shock absorber. Once it sags or breaks, expect a lower ride height, possible headlight aim issues, and in severe cases, an MOT failure.
