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:
The Hyundai Kona first generation ran from 2017 to 2023, so both a 2018 and a 2022 car sit within the same generation — however, Hyundai introduced a mid-life facelift in 2021, and whether the suspension components cross that facelift boundary without modification is something you should confirm with the breaker against your exact registration before ordering.
Yes, it can — running gear is sometimes uprated on heavier or more powerful variants, so a shock absorber from a 1.0 T-GDi Kona may not be the same specification as one from a 1.6 T-GDi model. Always tell the breaker your engine size alongside your registration so they can match from the right donor car.
Absolutely — shock absorbers are handed, meaning the nearside (passenger side) and offside (driver side) units are not interchangeable. Make sure you know which corner needs replacing before you contact a breaker, as supplying the wrong side is one of the most common ordering mistakes.
Trim level alone — whether your car is an SE, SE Connect, Premium, or N Line — does not change shock absorber fitment, so you do not need to match trim badges when sourcing a used unit. That said, if you have an N Line model, it is worth confirming with the breaker whether your car was fitted with any sport suspension variant, as damper rates can differ from standard cars even within the same generation.
The second-generation Kona launched in 2023 on a new platform, so it is a completely different vehicle from the 2017–2023 first-generation car — parts from the two generations are not interchangeable. Always give the breaker your registration number so they can identify which generation your car belongs to and source the correct unit.
Hybrid and electric Kona variants carry heavier powertrains than petrol equivalents, so their suspension components may be to a different specification to handle the additional weight. Confirm the powertrain type of the donor car with the breaker against your own registration to make sure the unit is a proper match.
