An EV-Specific Rear Spring

Genuinely worth knowing: the Zoe's underfloor battery pack significantly changes weight distribution compared with a conventional petrol car, so the rear spring rate is matched specifically to this platform rather than shared with an unrelated model.

Renault Zoe Rear Springs: A Part That Fails Quietly, Then Suddenly

On the Renault Zoe, rear spring sag tends to creep in gradually over months, with little more than a slightly lower ride height to show for it, before ending suddenly at the coil's end with an audible clunk — worth remembering if one rear corner starts sitting noticeably lower than the other.

Before you buy: generation (Phase 1 vs Phase 2) affects spring rate and fitment. Always confirm against your VIN before ordering.

OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — rear coil springs (aftermarket) Monroe SP4405 / Febi Bilstein 195072

Accuracy note: Covers the Renault Zoe (2012-) 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 (Phase 1 vs Phase 2), since battery and weight specifications changed enough between phases to affect suspension component references.

Rear coil springs (aftermarket)	Monroe SP4405 (standard, 260 mm); Febi Bilstein 195072 (260 mm); Suplex 27379 (standard, 264 mm); Kamoka 2120595
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
Right	Genuinely a different part number from the left-side spring — confirm side before ordering
Left	A genuinely different reference from the right-side spring above

The Renault Zoe's rear springs should always go in as a pair — fitting one new spring alongside an old, sagged one on the opposite side leaves the car sitting unevenly and biases how it handles.

Renault Zoe Rear Springs: What It Does

On the Renault Zoe, supporting the rear end's weight and absorbing the first impact of a bump is the rear coil spring's job, working alongside the shock absorber rather than doing its job for it. A sagged or broken spring drops ride height, can throw off headlight aim, and in serious cases fails an MOT outright.
