Fitment questions
Do Vauxhall Cavalier coil springs actually exist, or does it use a different suspension setup?
The Cavalier does use coil springs, but only at the rear — the front suspension uses a MacPherson strut arrangement where the spring sits around the strut itself rather than as a separate coil spring in the traditional sense. When buyers search for a Cavalier coil spring they usually need either a rear coil spring or a front strut spring, so it's worth being clear which end you need before contacting a breaker.
Will a Mk2 Cavalier rear coil spring fit a Mk3?
The Mk2 Cavalier ran from 1981 to 1988 and the Mk3 from 1988 to 1995, and these are substantially different cars with different rear suspension geometry, so the springs are not interchangeable across that boundary. Always quote your registration to the breaker so they can pull the correct part for your generation.
Does engine size affect which rear coil spring I need for my Cavalier?
Engine size can influence spring rate and load rating, so a 2.0-litre Cavalier may have had stiffer rear springs than a 1.4 or 1.6 variant to handle the extra weight. You should confirm the engine size on your V5C and pass it to the breaker alongside your registration, as this detail can affect which spring is quoted to you.
Does the trim level matter — will a CD or GLS spring fit my base-spec Cavalier?
Trim level alone — whether CD, GLS, L, or GL — does not affect which rear coil spring was fitted, as Vauxhall based the spring specification on mechanical factors like engine size rather than interior grade. A spring from a GLS donor car with the same engine and same generation as yours is the same part, though you should confirm there are no sport suspension variants on either car with the breaker before buying.
I have a 1993 Cavalier — could I use a spring from a 1988 or 1989 car?
The Mk3 Cavalier began in 1988, so a 1989 donor car is within the same generation as your 1993 vehicle, which is a good starting point for compatibility. However, confirm with the breaker against both registrations, as early Mk3 production cars can sometimes differ from later examples in specification, and you want to be certain the spring rate matches your engine variant.
Does it matter whether I order a nearside or offside rear coil spring on the Cavalier?
Rear coil springs on the Cavalier are typically symmetrical and the same part is used on both the nearside and offside, unlike components such as wishbones or driveshafts where side matters. That said, confirm this with your breaker when ordering, as it is always worth double-checking before the part is dispatched.
