So my car failed MOT today due to the left rear coil spring having snapped. Mileage on 66K. (2012 2.0 cdti sri vx-line) I can't say I have noticed that the coil spring was knackered having driven the car etc.

Anyway decided to replace both rear coil springs so I've managed to source 2 Astra J SRI springs (Part No : 13340838) off eBay for 100 quid but have noted in the Haynes workshop manual that I should probably use new shock absorber bolts. 

Anyone know what the part numbers are for these bolts or are they of the generic type.. ?

Replacing the rear coil strings looks easy enough or am I missing something here? (Yes I have bought a torque wrench : have axel stands, trolley jack ) 

Thanks
