Confirmed: Hybrid4 Has Its Own Rear Shock Reference

Genuinely worth knowing: parts suppliers confirm Hybrid4 variants use a rear shock absorber specifically labelled and referenced separately from standard petrol/diesel versions, reflecting the rear-mounted electric motor's effect on weight distribution. Some current-generation models also use a genuinely more complex rear damper coupling mechanism sold as a complete set rather than a simple serviceable shock — worth checking whether your car uses this more expensive, integrated system before assuming a straightforward like-for-like replacement.

Peugeot 3008 Rear Shock Absorber: The Part That Takes Every Bump Before You Feel It

On the Peugeot 3008, steering duties mean the front suspension usually gets checked first, but rear shocks wear out too — just more quietly, with early symptoms that are easy to mistake for ordinary road noise until they get noticeably worse.

Before you buy: Hybrid4 vs standard petrol/diesel, generation, and left/right side all affect fitment. Always confirm against your VIN before ordering.

OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — rear shock absorbers (aftermarket) Monroe 376264SP / Sachs 319562

Accuracy note: Covers the Peugeot 3008 (2016-) 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: on some current-generation cars, the rear damper is sold as a complete coupling mechanism rather than a simple standalone shock — confirm which system your car has before assuming a low-cost like-for-like part exists.

Rear shock absorbers (aftermarket)	Monroe 376264SP (gas, telescopic); Sachs 319562 (gas, telescopic); Bilstein 19-275970 (gas)
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
Standard petrol/diesel, right	Genuinely a different part number from the left-side shock, and from the Hybrid4 version below — confirm side and powertrain before ordering
Standard petrol/diesel, left	A genuinely different reference from the right-side shock above
Hybrid4, right/left	Confirmed by parts suppliers as a genuinely different, specifically-labelled reference from standard petrol/diesel versions, reflecting the rear-mounted electric motor's effect on weight distribution

Even when only one side has visibly failed on the Peugeot 3008, replacing shock absorbers as a pair keeps damping consistent across the axle.

Peugeot 3008 Rear Shock Absorber: What It Does

The rear shock absorber controls how quickly the rear suspension compresses and rebounds over bumps, working independently of the coil spring on most versions. A worn rear shock lets the back of the car bounce excessively after a bump instead of settling quickly.
