Used shock absorbers vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
Both years fall within the Mk7 Fiesta generation (2008–2017), so there is a strong chance the units are compatible, but the Mk7 received a facelift in 2013 and Ford occasionally revised suspension components at such points. Name both registration years when you contact the breaker and ask them to cross-reference the part numbers before you commit.
The Mk6 ran from 2002 to 2008 and the Mk7 from 2008 to 2017, and these are distinct generations with different platform dimensions, so the shock absorbers are not a straightforward swap. Confirm with the breaker against both registrations rather than assuming any crossover.
For standard Zetec and Titanium models, trim level does not affect shock absorber fitment because the suspension geometry is shared; however, be aware that a used unit pulled from a higher-mileage or different-colour car is purely a cosmetic difference that won't affect fitment. The ST is a performance variant and may carry different spring and damper rates, so always confirm with the breaker against your exact registration if you are buying for or from an ST.
Yes, shock absorbers are handed, so always specify nearside (NS, passenger side) or offside (OS, driver side) when requesting a quote from the breaker. Ordering the wrong side is one of the most common and easily avoided mistakes with suspension parts.
On the Fiesta, shock absorber fitment is primarily determined by the generation rather than engine size for most standard variants, though heavier or more powerful engines can sometimes influence suspension specification. It is still worth giving the breaker your exact engine size and registration so they can rule out any variant differences before dispatching the part.
The Mk7 Fiesta facelift arrived in 2013, so a 2015 car is a facelift-generation Mk7 (2013–2017). Whether Ford changed shock absorber specifications at that 2013 facelift boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as mid-generation running gear updates do occur and cannot be assumed from the model year alone.
