Interchangeability of front springs..?

[Guy D Pearson]

Hi. Looking for a bit of advice... Have set about replacing the front coil springs on my 2006 Peugeot Partner MPV - when I check out replacement springs online (using the vehicle reg) I am generally getting two options - for vehicles with/without A/C... my vehicle has A/C but the existing springs are different to the image for the A/C version and identical to the non-A/C replacements..! How important is it that I use the right ones - are they interchangeable..? Thanks. Guy

Hi, and to the forum.

The A/C system will add weight to the car, so the springs will need to be stronger to handle that increase in weight.

There are different types of struts depending on engine and whether you have heavy rated suspension or not,
