Confirmed: Genuine Cross-Brand Parts Sharing Within PSA Group

Genuinely worth knowing when searching for Peugeot 108 parts: PSA Group's platform-sharing extends directly to rear suspension components — many rear shock listings cover multiple Peugeot and Citroën models together under a single part number, reflecting shared underpinnings across the group. If you can't find a listing specifically for your model, checking under a related PSA Group model of a similar era is worth doing.

Peugeot 108 Rear Shock Absorber: The Part That Takes Every Bump Before You Feel It

On the Peugeot 108, 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: generation and left/right side both affect fitment. Always confirm against your VIN before ordering.

OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — rear shock absorbers (aftermarket) Monroe G1075 / Febi Bilstein 1002445

Accuracy note: Covers the Peugeot 108 (2014-) as listed in the UK aftermarket catalogues. Rear shock absorbers are replaced as a pair across the axle, because a new damper beside a worn one leaves the car feeling uneven. The right one depends on the engine, the suspension type (standard, sport or heavy-duty, and electronic damping on some models) and sometimes the body style. The references below are UK aftermarket catalogue listings for this generation, labelled by brand with the fitment details the catalogue gives; carmakers rarely publish the genuine number against these, so match a genuine damper against your VIN if you want a guaranteed fit. genuinely worth knowing: left and right rear shocks are separate, non-mirror-image part numbers — confirm which side you need before ordering.

Rear shock absorbers (aftermarket)	Monroe G1075 (gas, telescopic); Febi Bilstein 1002445 (gas, telescopic); Meyle 40-267250008 (gas, telescopic)
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	None quoted in the catalogue listings — the genuine damper varies by engine, suspension type and body style, so order it against your VIN
Right	Genuinely a different part number from the left-side shock — confirm side before ordering
Left	A genuinely different reference from the right-side shock above

For consistency, it's best to replace the Peugeot 108's shock absorbers in pairs even if only one side has visibly failed.

Peugeot 108 Rear Shock Absorber: What It Does

The Peugeot 108's 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.
