Fitment Notes

• Always match OEM reference number(s) and vehicle details before ordering. Verify VIN/engine.


• Ford Mondeo IV and Volvo S80 II / V70 III / XC70 II share the Ford EUCD platform during this production window - the same shock absorber SKU is correct for both marques.


• Fitment list reflects 139 South African market applications. European-only LPG, BiFuel, Flexifuel / FlexFuel / FlexiFuel (Ethanol), and commercial Mondeo IV Van / V70 III Estate Van / XC70 II Van variants are not included.


• 
  Side verification - Ford OE pattern: this (front left) unit uses the Ford OE pattern 6G9118K001... / AG9118K001.... The opposite side (front right, SKU 9260957) uses pattern 6G9118045... / AG9118045.... Cross-check the suffix on your original part before ordering.


• Paired article number: 9260957 is the front right shock absorber counterpart to this unit. Shock absorbers should always be replaced in pairs across the same axle.

Installation / Use / Maintenance Tips

• Compare the new shock absorber to the removed unit before installation to confirm length, top-pin mounting, bottom fitting type, and piston rod diameter match.


• Inspect the top mount, bump stop, dust boot, lower mounting bushes, and coil spring condition before fitting the new shock absorber.


• Always replace both front shock absorbers at the same time - fit SKU 9260957 on the opposite side together with this left-hand unit to preserve balanced damping and handling.


• Prime the shock absorber by extending and compressing it several times by hand before installation, holding it vertically with the piston rod uppermost between cycles.


• Torque all mounting hardware to the vehicle manufacturer's workshop specification, and check wheel alignment after installation.

Common Questions

Will this shock absorber fit my Ford Mondeo IV or Volvo S80 / V70 / XC70?

This part (MAP-101041) is listed for the fitments shown on this page. Confirm by matching the fitment details. Verify VIN/engine.

What OEM part numbers does this cross-reference?

Cross-reference numbers are listed in the OEM Reference Numbers section above. Match at least one to your original part before ordering.

How do I tell if I need the left or right shock absorber?

Check the OE number stamped or labelled on your original Ford shock absorber. The pattern 6G9118K001... / AG9118K001... indicates the front left side (this SKU, MAP-101041). The pattern 6G9118045... / AG9118045... indicates the front right side (SKU 9260957). On Volvo units, compare the 8-digit number against the lists in the OEM Reference Numbers section.

Is this for the left or right side?

This is the front left shock absorber. The front right counterpart is SKU 9260957. Shock absorbers should always be replaced as a pair across the same axle.

Do I need a front right one too?

Yes, in almost all cases. A worn shock absorber on one side means the paired shock on the other side is similarly aged and should be replaced to preserve balanced damping and predictable handling. Order SKU 9260957 for the right side.

Why does a Ford shock absorber also fit Volvo vehicles?

During this production window, Volvo Cars was part of the Ford Motor Company. The Ford Mondeo IV and Volvo S80 II, V70 III, and XC70 II share the Ford EUCD platform, including many suspension components.

How do I confirm fitment if there are multiple variants?

Compare the supplied fitment details to your vehicle. Verify VIN/engine. If unsure, request fitment assistance before ordering.
