Confirmed: Left, Right, and AWD All Genuinely Differ

A detail worth getting right on the Suzuki Celerio: rear shocks differ by side (left and right are not mirror-image parts), and AWD models, where available, use an entirely different rear shock from front-wheel-drive versions to suit their different rear axle layout.

Suzuki Celerio Rear Shock Absorber: The Part That Takes Every Bump Before You Feel It

The Suzuki Celerio's front end tends to dominate suspension conversations since it steers the car, but rear shock wear happens at a comparable rate — just with subtler warning signs that often get blamed on road noise until they're too obvious to ignore.

Before you buy: drivetrain 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 G1272 / KYB Excel-g 3430032

Accuracy note: Covers the Suzuki Celerio (2015-) 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 G1272 (gas, telescopic); KYB Excel-g 3430032 (gas, telescopic); Japanparts MM-80024 (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
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

One-sided replacement can leave mismatched damping across the Suzuki Celerio's axle, which is why doing shock absorbers in pairs is the more consistent choice, even with just one visibly failed.

Suzuki Celerio Rear Shock Absorber: What It Does

On the Suzuki Celerio, how quickly the rear suspension compresses and rebounds over bumps comes down to the shock absorber, a separate function from the coil spring. Wear here shows up as excessive bounce that doesn't settle quickly after a bump.
