• left side. Thanks to this, the shock absorber can be used flexibly, according to the current service needs of the vehicle.

Technical and functional characteristics

The shock absorber belongs to the Shock absorbers and struts category, which means it is responsible for controlling the movement of suspension springs, limiting body roll, and improving tire grip on the road surface. A properly selected component from this group affects:

• vehicle stability during braking and acceleration,
• control of body roll in corners,
• ride comfort on uneven surfaces,
• even tire wear. The original Ford origin ensures proper fitment to the Fiesta Mk7 suspension design, without the need for mounting modifications or interference with the system geometry.

Product condition and benefits of choosing a used part

The offered shock absorber is in used condition, which allows for an economical replacement of the component while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. Choosing such a part can be beneficial in situations where:

• you want to reduce repair costs while keeping an OEM component,
• you are looking for a part with factory suspension performance characteristics,
• you want to quickly restore the efficiency of the rear axle without experimenting with aftermarket replacements. A used shock absorber from this group, selected according to the part number and purpose, helps maintain the consistency of the suspension system with other components.

Professional selection and technical support

To maximize the potential of this component, it is worth verifying compatibility with the specific equipment version and model year of the Ford Fiesta Mk7, using OEM markings and interchangeable numbers available in the specification. This minimizes the risk of an incorrect purchase and ensures proper installation in the rear suspension.
