Confirmed: Left and Right Are Genuinely Separate Parts

Genuinely worth knowing: Toyota's own parts catalogue lists left and right rear shock absorbers as distinct, non-interchangeable references — not a single part fitted to either side. Confirm which side you need before ordering.

Toyota Verso Rear Shock Absorber: The Part That Takes Every Bump Before You Feel It

It's easy to focus entirely on the Toyota Verso's front suspension, since it also does the steering, but the rear shocks age just the same — often with subtler symptoms that get dismissed as road noise right up until they can't be ignored.

Before you buy: engine, trim, 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 G2184 / Sachs 315341

Accuracy note: Covers the Toyota Verso (2009-2018) 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: Toyota's own parts catalogue sometimes distinguishes rear shocks by build location (Japan-built vs local-built) in addition to engine/trim — an extra variable worth checking against your specific VIN.

Rear shock absorbers (aftermarket)	Monroe G2184 (gas, telescopic); Sachs 315341 (gas, telescopic); TRW JGT1444S (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
Standard trims, right	Genuinely a different part number from the left-side shock — confirm side before ordering
Standard trims, left	A genuinely different reference from the right-side shock above
Sport-trim shock, where fitted	A genuinely different, stiffer shock from standard trims

On the Toyota Verso, it's generally worth fitting shock absorbers in pairs rather than one at a time, even if just one side shows obvious signs of failure.

Toyota Verso Rear Shock Absorber: What It Does

On the Toyota Verso, controlling the speed of rear suspension compression and rebound over bumps is the shock absorber's job, working separately from the coil spring. A worn one means the back end bounces longer than it should after a bump.
