Nissan Pulsar Shock Absorber Replacement Parts

The Nissan Pulsar sold in the UK ran from 2014 to 2018 as a single generation, so all UK cars share the same basic platform. Year within that range can still affect fitment if Nissan made running changes, so always confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker rather than assuming any 2014–2018 unit is a straight swap.

The UK Pulsar ran as one generation from 2014 to 2018 with no major mid-generation facelift that is widely documented as changing the suspension pick-up points, so there is a reasonable chance of compatibility across those years. However, whether a specific damper from an early car crosses to a later build without issue is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as running production changes can affect part numbers even within the same generation.

Running gear, including dampers, can vary with the weight and power of the engine fitted, so a shock absorber from a 1.2-litre DIG-T car may not be identical to one from the 1.6-litre DIG-T version. Tell the breaker your exact engine size and registration so they can match the correct unit, and never assume all Pulsar shock absorbers are interchangeable just because the body looks the same.

Trim level alone — Visia, Acenta, or Tekna — does not determine which shock absorber you need, as the suspension is governed by the generation and engine rather than the trim badge. You may find that a part pulled from a higher-spec car looks slightly different in its spring or a bracket finish, but the core fitment is what matters, so focus on matching the generation and engine size rather than the trim name.

Yes, this matters: nearside (NS, passenger side) and offside (OS, driver side) shock absorbers are handed on most cars and are not interchangeable. Always specify NS or OS clearly when requesting a quote from the breaker to avoid receiving the wrong unit.

If your car has any sport-tuned or uprated suspension — whether factory-fitted or a dealer option — the damper rate or specification may differ from a standard car even within the same engine and generation. This is something you need to confirm with the breaker against your specific registration, as Findapart cannot verify which suspension specification your individual car was built with.
