Fitment on a used shock absorber varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
The first-generation 3008 ran from 2009 to 2016, and the second generation launched in 2016, so a 2014 and a 2018 are from completely different generations with different platforms and suspension designs. Shocks from the first-gen will not cross over to the second-gen. Always confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker before purchasing.
Both the 2012 and 2015 3008 sit within the first generation (2009–2016), so they share the same basic platform and suspension layout, which is a good starting point. However, spring and damper rate variants can differ within a generation, so confirm the specific part matches your registration with the breaker rather than assuming all first-gen cars are identical.
For the second-generation 3008 (2016 onwards), trim levels such as Active, Allure, and GT Line do not affect shock absorber fitment in the way that engine size or generation does. You may find cosmetic or ride-height differences if the supplying car had optional sport suspension, so ask the breaker to confirm the specification against your registration to be sure you are getting a like-for-like damper.
Yes, engine size can influence suspension and running gear components because heavier or more powerful variants are sometimes rated for greater loads, which can mean different damper specifications. On the 3008 this is most relevant when crossing between smaller petrol engines and the larger diesel or hybrid powertrains. Confirm the engine code and registration with the breaker so they can match the correct shock absorber to your specific car.
No — the second-generation 3008 launched in 2016 on an entirely new platform, so first-generation shocks (2009–2016) are not compatible with second-generation cars. These are fundamentally different vehicles despite sharing a name and some styling cues. Always source from the correct generation and confirm against your registration with the breaker.
Yes, this matters — nearside (NS, passenger side) and offside (OS, driver side) shock absorbers are handed on the 3008 and are not interchangeable. When requesting a quote, always specify NS or OS clearly so the breaker can pull the correct unit. Double-check this against your own car before confirming the order.
