Hi All
Does any kind soul know if Vectra C rear spring seats fit my 93 Aero 2.0T 2004 model as they are badly cracked and perished. If so, are all Vectra C models compatible?
Many thanks as always...

Hello,
Yes they will fit. I changed mine about 2 years ago when the Saab ones disintegrated. Mine were supplied and fitted by my daughter's boyfriend, who is a mechanic with a police force, so works on numerous cars. I believe the correct Vauxhall part no. is 24422968. Maybe pop into a friendly Vauxhall dealer and ask. Note there are two types; you need the one without a plastic insert (i.e. the part no. above). Several people have done this.

Cheers for the reply Rick, been searching everywhere but not a lot of info on this part. I'll look into it and get a couple ordered.
Thanks again.

Hi Dave,
No probs. Just make sure you check inside the Vauxhall bump stop to check there is not a plastic insert ( I think these are for the Astra). I got the part no from here:

I also changed the upper spring seat at the same time, but this was not really necessary.
Cheers
Rick
