Used Vauxhall Combo Coil Spring

The Vauxhall Combo is a van-based vehicle and, like most light commercial vans of its type, uses a torsion bar setup at the front and a leaf spring or coil-over arrangement depending on generation — coil springs do exist on the Combo, most commonly at the rear on later generations and at the front strut on some variants, so the part is genuine. However, the exact suspension layout changed across generations, so it is worth confirming with the breaker exactly which corner you need and which generation your vehicle is before ordering.

These two vehicles fall into different generations — the third-generation Combo (C, roughly 2001–2011) and the fourth-generation Combo (D, roughly 2012–2018) are distinct platforms, so springs from one generation will not reliably cross to the other. You should always confirm the exact generation against your registration with the breaker before purchasing.

On a van like the Combo, payload rating and GVW (shown on the plate inside the door or door jamb) can influence the spring rate and specification more than engine size alone, so it is worth checking your vehicle's plate rather than just the engine code. Spring rate variants are something you should confirm directly with the breaker against your registration, as there can be differences we cannot state as fact here.

Trim level — for example Sportive, Expression, or L1/L2 body length — does not affect which coil spring fits in terms of the physical part. What matters is your generation, the specific axle position (front or rear), and your vehicle's GVW or payload rating, so focus on those details when speaking to the breaker.

The Combo has been sold in panel van, car-derived van, and Combo Tour (passenger) body styles across different generations, and while some running gear is shared within a generation, it is not guaranteed to be identical across all body variants — especially where payload ratings differ. Always check with the breaker using your full registration to confirm the spring from a different body style will match your specific variant.

For coil springs on a standard strut front suspension setup the left and right springs are typically the same part, but this can vary by vehicle and it is always worth specifying NS (nearside, passenger side) or OS (offside, driver side) when contacting the breaker. Confirming the side, along with your generation and GVW rating, will help the breaker supply the correct spring and avoid a wasted journey.
