Air supension part number

[HansImmer]

Hello,

i am looking for a driver side air suspenion unit / shock absorber. If the shock absorber is weak the complete unit has to be changed, right?

The part number of left and right air suspention unit is different. Isn´t it the identical part?

On the linked website it seems "07/2003-end of production" cars have different part numbers to pre facelift model. So an older unit can´t be used in a facelift model?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Are you looking for the front or rear? Also, are you wanting a used one or a new one?

Hallo Acre,

used one. Front, driver side. But i am not sure about the part numbers.

Guess, all 2000-2006 are the same units. Who knows?

If you look at used ones for sale some say "facelift" but as far as I know they are the same as pre-facelift.  The front is worth the risk using a used shock but the rear means removing the seat, no easy task, so let's hope you don't need to. Are you sure it's not the height sensor?

This information is based on  LHD model, both front units have the same part number 48010-50140.
