Hi guys,

One of my rear shocks is dead so... on my quest in the scrapyard I have found a few rear shocks but they are from the early models the ones from 199 till 2002.
Mine model is 2003... so does anyone know if there is a difference between the older rear shocks and the newer models?

 

The rear dampers are VIN-specific depending on engine fitted, and if the vehicle has adaptive damping.

Did you check the part numbers?

 

About the car mine is just a 3.0 nothing fancy with adaptive damoing.
Part numbers according Baratt is different, if i look at the aftermarket parts then they are telling its all te same.

 

You can research OEM part numbers here for comparison:

I like rockauto. Easy to use and great selection if you want a scrapyard alternative
