Second Hand Peugeot 108 Shock Absorber

The Peugeot 108 ran as a single generation from 2014 to 2022, so there are no major generation boundaries to worry about in the way you'd find on older Peugeots. In principle, shock absorbers from across the full 2014–2022 production run are candidates for interchange, but whether a specific unit from, say, a 2015 car crosses over cleanly to a 2019 car is worth confirming with the breaker against your registration, as Peugeot can introduce running changes mid-production. Always quote your reg when getting a quote.

The 108 remained one generation throughout its life (2014–2022), so there is no named facelift that introduced a new platform or suspension geometry. That said, minor specification updates can occur during a long production run, so confirm with the breaker that the donor car's year matches or is confirmed compatible with yours before purchasing. Quoting your full registration makes this check straightforward.

It can do, because running gear is sometimes uprated on heavier or more powerful variants to cope with the extra load. The 108 was offered with 1.0-litre and 1.2-litre petrol engines in the UK, and while the difference is modest, it is worth telling the breaker which engine your car has so they can match the correct specification. Do not assume a unit pulled from any 108 will be a guaranteed fit regardless of engine.

For standard shock absorbers, trim level does not affect fitment — Active, Allure, and Collection all share the same basic suspension layout. You may find cosmetic differences on a used part (for example, surface condition or any branded markings), but these do not affect whether it fits or works. Concentrate on matching the year and engine size rather than the trim badge, and confirm the side (NS or OS) with the breaker.

Yes, absolutely — front shock absorbers are handed, meaning the nearside (left, driver's side in a right-hand-drive UK car) and offside (right, passenger side) are not interchangeable. Always specify NS or OS clearly when contacting a breaker, and if you are replacing one, it is generally good practice to replace both sides at the same time to keep handling balanced. Confirm the side before any payment is made.

Some 108s were sold with or later fitted with sport or lowered suspension, which would use a different damper rate or unit compared with a standard car. Whether your specific car has such a setup is something to confirm with the breaker against your registration, as it is not something that can be determined purely from the model name or trim level. A breaker who can cross-reference your reg will be best placed to identify the correct specification.
