A Part That Fails Quietly, Then Suddenly

Months of gradual sagging with barely any symptom beyond a marginally lower ride height is the usual pattern for the Vauxhall Insignia's rear spring, right up until it fails suddenly at the coil's end with a clunk. If one rear corner looks lower than the other, that's the clue worth acting on.

Genuinely worth knowing: hatchback/saloon and estate body styles use genuinely different rear spring rates, and FlexRide (adaptive damping) uses a further distinct spring rate again from standard suspension.

Before you buy: body style, FlexRide vs standard suspension, and left/right side all affect fitment. Always confirm against your VIN before ordering.

OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — rear coil springs (aftermarket) Kilen 60064 / Monroe SN3928

Accuracy note: Covers the Vauxhall Insignia (A 2008-2017) 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: rear springs are sold in left/right pairs matched to a specific rate marking — confirm the marking on your existing spring rather than assuming from body style alone.

Rear coil springs (aftermarket)	Kilen 60064 (lowered); Kilen 260065; Monroe SN3928 (321 mm); Monroe SN3993 (sport, 302 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
Hatchback/saloon, standard suspension	Genuinely a different spring from the estate and FlexRide versions below — confirm body style and suspension type before ordering
Estate, standard suspension	A genuinely different, typically stiffer spring than the hatchback/saloon version, reflecting the increased load-carrying capacity
FlexRide (adaptive damping)	A genuinely different spring rate from standard suspension, matched to the electronic damping characteristics

Replacing just one Vauxhall Insignia rear spring is a false economy: pairing it with an old, sagged spring on the other side produces uneven ride height and a noticeable handling bias.

Vauxhall Insignia Rear Springs: What It Does

The Vauxhall Insignia's rear end weight rests on the coil spring, which also absorbs the initial shock of a bump — a separate function from the shock absorber, not a replacement for it. Left sagged or broken, it lowers ride height, potentially skews headlight aim, and can become an MOT failure in severe cases.
