Rear Shock Absorber for BYD Seal 05 DM-i & Qin PLUS DM-i, OE 12661686-00

This one falls in a gas class for dangerous goods transport, so it cannot go through the ordinary checkout and no carrier on our lanes will fly it. The rule attaches to how the item travels, not to the part itself, which is supplied new. Use the quote route on this page instead of a basket. Send OE 12661686-00 with your model details and your delivery address, and we will come back to you with the route that can actually carry it and what that involves.

HAD-2915800 is the alternative reference we offer against this rear shock absorber assembly, and OE 12661686-00 is the other. Both point at the same record. A unit that has been on the car for years may show one, the other, or nothing legible at all once the road grime is off it. Note down what you can read and set it beside the two references given here. When you send the enquiry through the quote route, include whatever number you found, because it saves a round of questions at our end.

Yes, this is a safety critical part for exactly that reason. It mounts underneath the car at the rear, so the vehicle needs raising and supporting before anyone can get to the fixings, which is not a driveway job for most people. Line the garage booking up around the enquiry rather than the other way round, since this item moves on a quoted route rather than a standard one. Give the garage OE 12661686-00 so they can check it against the old unit.

Metal is what this damper is made of, with the condition given as new, so the unit has not been on another car and been refurbished. Because this item travels on a quoted route, mention any access limits at the delivery address when you raise the enquiry.

This unit mounts underbody, at the rear of the car. Nothing here is reachable while the wheels are on the ground, so it is work done with the vehicle in the air. The rear position is also the thing to check hardest before you enquire, because front and rear dampers are ordered under separate numbers. Confirm the end of the car you are working on, find your model in the fitment table on this page, then send OE 12661686-00 through the quote route.

There is not. The manufacturer of this rear shock absorber assembly is BYD, and no aftermarket equivalent exists for it, so the Original/Genuine item is the only version available to quote. Parts that do carry both tiers show them together on one page so a buyer can weigh them up. That choice does not arise here. Put OE 12661686-00 into the quote route with your model details, and if you want alternatives explored say so in the same message.
