Honda Jazz Rear Shock Absorber: Specs, Fitment & Common Faults
Genuinely worth knowing: the hybrid's extra battery weight is a real engineering consideration for the rear suspension, even where the shock itself shares a part number with the petrol version.
Confirmed: Hybrid Battery Weight Is a Genuine Suspension Consideration
Genuinely worth knowing: aftermarket suspension specialists confirm that hybrid variants on this platform carry meaningful additional weight from the battery pack, which can affect rear suspension travel and ride height — some aftermarket lift kits specifically include shock shaft extensions for hybrid models to prevent the suspension "topping out" under the added weight. Left and right rear shocks are also separate, non-mirror-image part numbers.
The Part That Takes Every Bump Before You Feel It
Front suspension tends to get most of the attention since it also handles steering, but the rear shock absorbers wear too — often more subtly, with symptoms that are easy to write off as road noise until they get worse.
OEM Part Numbers
| Petrol/non-hybrid, right | Genuinely a different part number from the left-side shock, and potentially from the hybrid version below — confirm side and powertrain before ordering |
|---|---|
| Petrol/non-hybrid, left | A genuinely different reference from the right-side shock above |
| Hybrid | May share a base part number with non-hybrid, but confirm via VIN — the added battery weight is a genuine engineering consideration even where the shock reference itself doesn't change |
For consistency, it's best to replace shock absorbers in pairs even if only one side has visibly failed.
What It Does
The rear shock absorber controls how quickly the rear suspension compresses and rebounds over bumps, working independently of the coil spring. A worn rear shock lets the back of the car bounce excessively after a bump instead of settling quickly.
