Shock Absorbers

Four Toyota references, fully cross-referenced

The shock absorber catalogue is a compact line: four detail pages, all Toyota applications, each with cross references and a materials specification. What the line lacks in breadth it carries in clarity — every reference can be matched three ways: by OE number, by cross reference, or by vehicle.

The four references

Construction, as listed

The listings describe the shock absorber build in the same terms across the four references: steel, aluminium alloy, rubber, polyurethane, hydraulic oil and chrome. The function is stated on the listings as well: to absorb and dampen spring oscillations to maintain tyre contact with the road, improving ride comfort and handling stability. Packing on the 48520-13020 listing is neutral — a white box with an OEM number sticker — and the same listing prints a delivery note of its own: 7–10 days for some models in stock, the only stock-delivery figure printed in this line.

All four listings print the same mounting position — Front Axle — including the two 48520-series listings. The front shock absorbers page covers the 48510 series, and the rear shock absorbers page covers rear-position enquiries and the 48520 series, with the mounting position stated exactly as listed. Stabilizer links for many of the same vehicles — Fortuner, Innova, Corolla among them — are on the stabilizer links page, so a suspension order can cover links and absorbers together.

Matching a shock absorber

Quote the OE number from the unit being replaced. If your stock system runs on a cross-reference system instead, the numbers in the table are the printed route in — 341396 is printed against the 48510-09J10 listing here. Vehicle-first matching also works within this line's limits: the four references cover Hilux, Fortuner, Avanza, Vios, Yaris, Prius and Corolla, and no other applications are detailed in the catalogue.

Frequently asked questions

Do you list shock absorbers for Nissan or Hyundai?

The detailed shock absorber listings are the four Toyota references above. For another make, send the OE number in your enquiry, and check it against the four listings above.

Are the four references front or rear?

All four listings print their mounting position as Front Axle — the 48510 series and the 48520 series alike. No rear-position shock absorber reference is among the four detailed listings; for a rear application, send the OE number with your enquiry, as the rear shock absorbers page sets out.
