Confirmed: Genuine Cross-Brand Parts Sharing Within PSA Group

Genuinely worth knowing when searching for Peugeot 2008 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 2008 Rear Shock Absorber: The Part That Takes Every Bump Before You Feel It

On the Peugeot 2008, most attention (and most complaints) go to the front suspension because of its role in steering, yet the rear shocks wear on a similar timeline — just more quietly, easy to write off as road noise until it's obviously gotten worse.

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

Peugeot 2008 Rear Shock Absorber reference plate

OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — rear shock absorbers (aftermarket) Monroe 376136SP / Febi Bilstein 1002461

Accuracy note: Covers the Peugeot 2008 (2013-2019) 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 376136SP (gas, telescopic); Febi Bilstein 1002461 (gas, telescopic); TRW JGT1360T (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

Best practice on the Peugeot 2008 is to change shock absorbers as a pair, even if only one side is visibly the problem, to keep damping matched side to side.

Peugeot 2008 Rear Shock Absorber: What It Does

Working independently of the coil spring, the Peugeot 2008's rear shock absorber determines how quickly the suspension settles after a bump. A worn unit lets the back of the car bounce for longer than it should.
