Suzuki Ignis Rear Shock Absorber: Specs, Fitment & Common Faults

Genuinely worth confirming first: drivetrain and left/right side both affect which rear shock fits.

Confirmed: Left, Right, and AWD All Genuinely Differ

Genuinely worth knowing: left and right rear shocks are separate, non-mirror-image part numbers, and AWD (where offered) uses a genuinely different rear shock from front-wheel-drive versions, reflecting the different rear axle layout needed for the AWD driveline.

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.

Before you buy: drivetrain and left/right side both affect fitment. Always confirm against your VIN before ordering.

Accuracy note: genuinely worth knowing: left and right rear shocks are separate, non-mirror-image part numbers — confirm which side you need before ordering.

Front-wheel drive, right	Genuinely a different part number from the left-side shock, and from the AWD version below
Front-wheel drive, left	A genuinely different reference from the right-side shock above
AWD, right/left	Genuinely different references from the front-wheel-drive shocks, reflecting the different rear axle layout

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.
