Confirmed: Genuinely Shared Parts With the Kia Sportage

Genuinely worth knowing when searching for parts: the Tucson and Kia Sportage are built on the same shared platform, and this extends to the rear coil springs — many genuine and aftermarket listings cover both "Hyundai Tucson Kia Sportage" together under a single part number for a given generation. If you can't find a listing specifically for "Tucson," checking under "Sportage" for the same generation years is worth doing.

A further genuinely important distinction: hybrid/PHEV models carry additional weight from the battery pack, which genuinely affects suspension travel and ride height — worth knowing if you're noticing a lower-than-expected rear ride height on a hybrid or PHEV Tucson, since this can be a normal characteristic of the added weight rather than purely a sign of sagged springs.

Hyundai Tucson Rear Springs: A Part That Fails Quietly, Then Suddenly

On the Hyundai Tucson, 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: AWD vs front-wheel-drive, hybrid/PHEV status, and left/right side all affect fitment. Always confirm against your VIN before ordering.

Accuracy note: Covers the Hyundai Tucson (2015-2020) as listed in the UK aftermarket catalogues. Rear coil springs are sold as a pair for the axle and should be replaced as a pair, because a new spring beside a tired one leaves the car sitting unevenly. The right spring depends on the engine and gearbox, the suspension type (standard, sport or heavy-duty) and, on some cars, the body style. The references below are UK aftermarket catalogue listings for this generation, labelled by brand with the fitment details the catalogue gives; carmakers rarely publish the genuine number against these, so match a genuine spring against your VIN if you want a guaranteed fit. genuinely worth knowing: confirm your exact generation year range before ordering — as with the shared Sportage platform, references change across generations even where the Tucson/Sportage cross-reference holds within a generation.

Rear coil springs (aftermarket)	Monroe SP4257 (332 mm); Monroe SP4471 (333 mm); KYB K-Flex RA5923 (324 mm); KYB K-Flex RA5858 (332 mm)
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	None quoted in the catalogue listings — the genuine spring varies by engine, suspension type and body style, so order it against your VIN
Front-wheel drive	Confirmed shared with the equivalent-generation Kia Sportage — confirm your exact generation and side before ordering
AWD	A genuinely different spring from the front-wheel-drive version, reflecting the different rear axle layout
Hybrid/PHEV	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

Always replace Hyundai Tucson 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.

Hyundai Tucson Rear Springs: What It Does

The Hyundai Tucson's 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.
