The D40 Navara ran from 2005 to 2015, so both years sit within the same generation, which is a good starting point for compatibility. However, the D40 received a facelift around 2010, and whether dampers cross cleanly between pre- and post-facelift builds is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as suspension specifications can vary across that boundary. Give the breaker your reg and ask them to verify the part against your specific build.
No — the D22 (produced roughly 1997 to 2004 in the UK) and the D40 (2005 to 2015) are entirely separate generations with different platforms and suspension geometry, so their shock absorbers are not interchangeable. Always source a damper from the correct generation for your vehicle.
On the Navara, engine size can influence suspension specification because heavier or higher-output variants may be fitted with uprated dampers to suit their weight and power, so it is worth checking. When contacting a breaker, give them your full registration so they can match the part to your exact engine and build rather than just the model name.
Trim level — whether Visia, Acenta, Tekna, or Trek — does not itself dictate the shock absorber fitment on the Navara, since running gear varies with generation and drivetrain rather than trim. You may find cosmetic differences on parts pulled from higher-spec vehicles, such as protective covers or brackets, but the core damper specification is driven by the platform, not the badge. Confirm with the breaker using your registration to be certain the unit matches your build.
Yes — always specify NS (nearside, passenger side) or OS (offside, driver's side) when ordering, as front dampers in particular are handed on the Navara and are not interchangeable left to right. A good breaker will ask, but it is worth stating clearly upfront to avoid any delay.
No — 2015 sits at the end of the D40 generation, while 2016 falls within the NP300 (also known as the D23), which is a newer and mechanically distinct platform introduced to the UK around 2016. These generations have different suspension designs and their dampers will not cross over, so make sure you source the part from the correct generation for your vehicle.
