A Part That Fails Quietly, Then Suddenly
It's a slow decline followed by a sudden failure with the Peugeot 108's rear springs — a gradually lower ride height for months, then an abrupt break at the coil's end announced by a clunk. One rear corner sitting visibly lower than the other is the sign to watch for.
Peugeot 108 Rear Springs: OEM Part Number
| 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 |
It's worth doing the Peugeot 108's rear springs as a pair rather than one at a time — mixing a new spring with an old, sagged one on the opposite side throws off ride height evenly and skews handling.
Peugeot 108 Rear Springs: What It Does
On the Peugeot 108, weight support at the rear and absorbing a bump's first impact both fall to the coil spring, working in tandem with the shock absorber rather than substituting for it. A broken or sagged spring drops ride height, can affect headlight alignment, and in bad cases is enough to fail an MOT.
