Front Electronic Damper Strut (Left) for BYD Tang L EV, OE 14837416-00

This one is supplied through a quote rather than a straight online purchase, because a strut like this has to be matched to your exact car before an order goes through. Before you request a price, look at which side of the car it comes from, where it sits at the front, underneath the car, and how it is fixed in place. Take a note of the side, the position and the fixings on your own vehicle, since those are what the quote will be built around.

This listing is for the left front position. To check that matches your car, stand at the front of the vehicle and work out which side is the driver's and which is the passenger's, then compare that to the strut you are taking off. If you are at all unsure which side you need, do not guess. Use the quote route on this page instead, so someone can confirm the side against your car before the order is placed.

This OE number covers the BYD Tang L EV only, with no other model given for it. If your car is a similar BYD or a different variant of the Tang, do not assume the fit carries across without checking. Look at the photographs on this page and compare the shape of the strut, the mounting points and the way the damper is arranged against what is currently fitted to your car, so you can judge for yourself whether it matches before you order.

This strut carries OE number 14837416-00, so start by comparing that against the marking on your old damper. If the two numbers do not match, do not assume the parts are interchangeable just because they look alike. Take your vehicle details to the fitment table on this page and check them there before you order, so you end up with the left front strut built for your Tang L EV rather than one that only resembles it.

This is an electronically controlled damper, not a simple mechanical strut, so fitting it involves matching the electrical connection as well as the physical mounting. Whether you take it to a garage or fit it yourself, have your old strut sitting in front of you before you order, so you can compare the body shape, the mounting points and the wiring connector side by side. That comparison, done with the part in hand, tells you far more than reading a description on a screen.

The packaging details are shown on this page. Delivery time is confirmed with your quote. Before you order, check the number on your old part against OE 14837416-00. If anything about the timing matters for a booked repair, ask through the quote route on this page. Keep the packaging until you have compared the new part with the one you removed.

Metal is what this strut body is made from, and it is supplied new rather than reconditioned. Because it is a solid metal assembly, it is the number stamped on the part rather than its outward appearance that confirms it is the right one. Before you place an order, look at the old strut you are taking off your car and read the number stamped into it, since that is what tells you whether this listing is the one that matches your vehicle.
