Vauxhall Agila Suspension Leg Replacement Parts

Yes, the Agila uses MacPherson strut suspension at the front, so the front suspension leg (also called a strut) is a genuine part on this car. If you are looking at the rear, the Agila uses a torsion beam rear axle rather than independent suspension, so there is no rear suspension leg or rear strut — the rear damper is a separate bolt-on unit. Make sure you are searching for the correct end of the car before getting quotes from a breaker.

Almost certainly not — the Agila was produced in two distinct generations: the Mk1 (A chassis) ran from 2000 to 2004, and the Mk2 (B chassis) ran from 2004 to 2008, and these are different platforms with different front strut assemblies. Always confirm the generation with the breaker against your registration number before ordering, as parts from one generation are not expected to cross over to the other.

Engine size can influence the suspension specification on some cars, but the Agila's range was modest and its front strut design is broadly shared across the petrol engine variants within each generation. That said, confirm with the breaker against your registration whether the specific spring and damper rates differ between engine sizes in your generation, as this is something we recommend verifying rather than assuming.

Trim level alone does not determine which suspension leg fits — the Agila's strut assembly is defined by its generation and engine rather than whether your car is a Club, Comfort, or Design. A strut from a different trim within the same generation and engine size should be physically compatible, though the breaker may supply a unit in a different state of wear, and you should confirm against your registration as a precaution.

This depends on exactly which side of the Mk1-to-Mk2 changeover your 2004 car falls, since the generation change happened during 2004. A 2003 Agila is always a Mk1, but a 2004 car could be either a late Mk1 or an early Mk2, and the two generations use different strut assemblies. Give the breaker your full registration so they can confirm which generation your car actually is before sourcing a part.

Yes, absolutely — the nearside (NS, passenger side) and offside (OS, driver side) suspension legs are handed and are not interchangeable. Always specify which side you need when contacting a breaker, and if you are unsure, check which corner of the car has the faulty strut before requesting quotes.
