Confirmed: Left, Right, and AWD All Genuinely Differ

Vauxhall Grandland X Rear Shock Absorber: OEM Part Number
| 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 |
