This coil spring is designed for the front axle of the OPEL ASTRA H (A04) 1.7 CDTI (L48) Hatchback from 03/2004 to 12/2009, specifically for vehicles without sports suspension and with 5 doors.
Yes, the KYB RH3520 is a direct replacement for part number RH2696 and is compatible with OEM references OPEL93179669 and VAUXHALL93179669.
The spring has a length of 368 mm, an outer diameter of 147 mm, and a thickness/strength of 112.5 mm.
For optimal and balanced handling, it is highly recommended to replace coil springs in pairs on the same axle (both front springs).
Replacing coil springs is a complex and potentially dangerous task. It requires specialized tools and knowledge. Professional installation by a qualified mechanic is strongly advised for safety and correct fitment.
K-Flex is a classification indicating the specific type and design characteristics of the suspension spring, developed by KYB for optimal performance within its intended application.
The part weighs approximately 2.1 kg.
Ensure the spring is correctly seated in its perches. Verify that no other suspension components are worn or damaged, which could also affect ride height. Confirm the correct part number was installed for your vehicle's exact trim.
Check that the spring isolators and mounting hardware are correctly installed and tightened. Inspect for any debris trapped around the spring or any damage to the spring itself. A professional inspection may be needed to rule out other suspension issues.
Confirm the spring was installed correctly and is the appropriate part for the vehicle. Improper installation or a mismatch in suspension components can lead to degraded performance. Inspect other suspension parts (shocks, control arms) for wear.
Compatibility Check: Before installation, verify that your vehicle is an OPEL ASTRA H (A04) 1.7 CDTI (L48) Hatchback manufactured between March 2004 and December 2009, and crucially, that it does *not* have sports suspension and is a 5-door model. Cross-reference your vehicle's VIN or original part number with the OEM references (OPEL93179669, VAUXHALL93179669) and the KYB part number (RH3520).
Installation: Coil spring replacement is a safety-critical operation that requires specialized tools and knowledge of automotive suspension systems. It is strongly recommended that installation be performed by a qualified mechanic. The process typically involves safely lifting the vehicle, removing the wheel, releasing tension on the spring, replacing the old spring with the new KYB RH3520, and reassembling the suspension components.
Care: Coil springs are generally maintenance-free components. However, regular visual inspections of the suspension system during routine maintenance are advised. Look for any signs of corrosion, cracks, or damage to the spring. Ensure that surrounding components like dust boots and bump stops are in good condition to protect the spring and other suspension parts.
