Volvo V60 Rear Springs: Specs, Fitment & Common Faults

Genuinely worth knowing: Volvo's factory "Chassis Code" system can identify genuinely different spring rate variants for the same model — a more precise way to confirm fitment than trim level alone.

A Part That Fails Quietly, Then Suddenly

A sagging Volvo V60 rear spring rarely gives dramatic warning — just a slightly reduced ride height over several months — before eventually failing suddenly at the coil's end with an audible clunk. Keep an eye out for one rear corner sitting lower than the other as an early tell.

Genuinely worth knowing: Volvo's product plate carries a "Chassis Code" that can identify a specific spring rate variant fitted at the factory — worth checking this directly rather than assuming from trim or engine size alone.
Before you buy: chassis code and drivetrain (2WD/AWD) both affect spring rate and fitment. Always confirm against your VIN and product plate before ordering.

Volvo V60 Rear Springs: OEM Part Number

Accuracy note: genuinely worth knowing: rear springs are sold in left/right pairs matched to a specific rate marking — confirm the marking on your existing spring, or your chassis code, rather than assuming from trim alone.

AWDA genuinely different spring from the 2WD version, reflecting the different rear axle layout

A single new rear spring on the Volvo V60, next to an old, sagged one, creates an imbalance — uneven ride height and a handling bias — which is why replacing them as a pair is the better approach.

Volvo V60 Rear Springs: What It Does

On the Volvo V60, bearing the rear end's weight and cushioning the initial jolt of a bump is the coil spring's role, complementing the shock absorber rather than duplicating its job. When it sags or breaks, ride height drops, headlight aim can be thrown off, and severe cases can mean an MOT failure.
