Fiat Fullback Shock Absorber Replacement Parts

The Fiat Fullback was sold in the UK from 2016 to 2020 and is based on the Mitsubishi L200 fifth generation (Series 5), so there is effectively one generation of Fullback with no major structural facelift within that run. Because the model life is relatively short and shares its platform with the L200, shock absorbers from across the 2016–2020 production window are broadly consistent in design, but you should always confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker before buying.

Both years fall within the same single-generation Fullback (2016–2020), so the underlying suspension architecture is shared and a 2016 unit is likely compatible with a 2019 vehicle. However, there can be running changes in damper specification across a model's life that are not always reflected in the model year alone, so confirm the exact part number against your registration with the breaker before purchasing.

The Fullback was sold in the UK predominantly with the 2.4-litre diesel engine, so engine-driven variation in shock absorber specification is not a significant concern for most buyers. That said, if you are in any doubt about whether your vehicle carries a different tune or load rating, it is worth confirming with the breaker against your registration to be certain.

Trim level does not affect shock absorber fitment on the Fiat Fullback — the suspension geometry is the same across variants including standard and Cross specifications. What can differ between trims is ride height or cosmetic underbody styling, so a used part from a different trim grade will function correctly even if it comes from a vehicle that looked different underneath; confirm fitment against your registration with the breaker as normal.

Yes, front and rear shock absorbers are completely different parts and are not interchangeable, so always specify which axle you need when contacting a breaker. For front units, the nearside (NS, driver's side on a left-hand-drive vehicle — passenger side in UK right-hand-drive) and offside (OS) are mirror images of each other, so confirm the correct side with your breaker to make sure you receive the right unit.

There is the possibility of variation in spring and damper rates depending on payload rating or any suspension upgrades fitted during the vehicle's life, and this is not always obvious from the model name or year alone. You should confirm the exact specification against your registration number with the breaker rather than assuming any Fullback shock absorber of the right axle and side will be a direct match.
