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.
Toyota Verso Rear Shock Absorber: OEM Part Number
| 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 |
