Used Peugeot 2008 Shock Absorber

The Peugeot 2008 first generation ran from 2013 to 2019, so both a 2014 and a 2017 car sit within the same generation — however, Peugeot made running changes across this period and whether a specific damper crosses those internal updates is something you should confirm with the breaker against your exact registration, as spring and damper rate variants can differ. The generation boundary is not the concern here, but mid-life revisions may be, so always quote your reg to the breaker.

No — the second-generation Peugeot 2008 launched in 2019 on an entirely new platform, so its suspension components are not interchangeable with the first generation (2013–2019). Always make sure the breaker knows which generation your car is before they pull a part.

For the Peugeot 2008, trim level — whether Access, Active, Allure, or Flair — does not affect which shock absorber you need; the running gear is determined by the generation and engine size, not the trim name. You may find cosmetic differences around the suspension area such as different wheel sizes or arch liners, but the damper itself is shared across trims for the same engine variant, so do not let a trim mismatch put you off a good part.

Engine size can influence suspension specification, as heavier or more powerful engines sometimes require uprated dampers to manage the additional weight and torque. It is worth telling the breaker your exact engine code alongside your registration so they can match the correct unit rather than assuming all 2008 dampers are identical.

Yes — shock absorbers are handed, meaning the nearside (NS, passenger side) and offside (OS, driver side) units are different and must be matched correctly. Always tell the breaker which side you need, and if you are replacing in pairs it is worth mentioning that too so they can check stock accordingly.

Diesel engines are generally heavier than their petrol counterparts, which can mean the suspension is tuned differently to compensate, so a direct swap between petrol and diesel variants is not guaranteed. Confirm with the breaker against both your registration and the donor vehicle's registration before purchasing, as fitment across fuel types is not something that can be stated as a certainty.
