This Monroe G16386 shock absorber is designed for owners of FORD Fiesta Mk5 and MAZDA 2 (DY) vehicles needing to replace their front left passenger-side shock absorber. It offers improved ride stability and handling through its gas pressure system and twin-tube design. A potential consideration is that replacement is typically done in pairs for optimal performance, so you may need to purchase a second unit for the opposite side.

This shock absorber is designed for the front left side of FORD Fiesta Mk5 Schrägheck (JH1, JD1, JH3, JD3) and MAZDA 2 (DY) models.
Yes, it is highly recommended to replace shock absorbers in pairs (left and right) to ensure balanced handling, stability, and safety of the vehicle.
The gas pressure system helps to prevent oil foaming under load, ensuring consistent damping performance and reducing the likelihood of shock absorber fade, especially during heavy use or on rough roads.
The extended length (476mm) is the full length of the shock absorber when it is unstressed. The compressed length (321mm) is its length when fully collapsed. The difference represents the travel of the suspension.
In automotive terms, 'NS' typically stands for Nearside, which is the side of the vehicle closest to the curb when parked on the left side of the road. For right-hand drive vehicles (like in the UK), this is the passenger side front.
Installation typically requires standard automotive tools, including wrenches, sockets, and potentially a spring compressor. It is advisable to consult a professional mechanic if you are unsure.
Ensure the shock absorber is correctly installed and tightened. Check for any fluid leaks from the unit. Consider replacing the shock absorber on the opposite side if it hasn't been done.
Verify that all mounting hardware is securely fastened. Inspect for any loose or worn suspension components in the vicinity. The noise might also indicate a problem with other suspension parts, not just the shock absorber.
The shock absorber may be compromised. Replace the unit immediately and inspect related suspension components.
Compatibility: This shock absorber (Monroe G16386) is compatible with FORD Fiesta Mk5 Schrägheck (JH1, JD1, JH3, JD3) and MAZDA 2 (DY) models. Always verify fitment with your vehicle's specifications before installation. Recommended accessory article numbers for associated parts include MK183, MK424, and PK168. The paired shock absorber for the opposite side is G16385.
Installation: Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic. It involves lifting the vehicle, removing the wheel, and disconnecting the old shock absorber using appropriate tools. Ensure all mounting points are clean and secure. Due to the nature of suspension components, it is strongly recommended to replace shock absorbers in pairs to maintain balanced handling and safety. Always follow torque specifications provided by the vehicle manufacturer.
Care: Shock absorbers do not require regular maintenance beyond ensuring they are free from leaks or physical damage. Periodically inspect the unit for any signs of wear or damage during routine vehicle checks. Keep the exterior of the shock absorber clean to prevent corrosion.
