Front Shock Absorber Strut (Right) for BYD Sealion 05 EV, OE 16521445-00

This one needs confirming against the fitment table on this page before it goes any further, so there is no straight checkout button on it. Once you have checked the listing against your vehicle in that table, you can put the request through from there and it moves on to a quote rather than a standard order. It is listed as New, made of metal, right side, front, so make sure that matches what you have got before you go to the table.

This is the right front strut, OE 16521445-00. Left and right struts are not interchangeable, since they are shaped to sit on opposite sides of the underbody. The surest way to tell which one you need is not to guess from the driver's or passenger's seat, but to check the number stamped on the part you are taking off and match it against this OE number before you order, so you know you are buying the correct side.

No two similar BYD models share this fitment automatically. This strut is listed for the Sealion 05 EV only, under OE 16521445-00, because the underbody mounting on this model is specific to it. If your car is a closely related model or you are not certain, do not order on the strength of the name alone. Look at the photographs on this page and compare them against what is currently fitted to your car, since the shape and mounting points will confirm whether this is the right one.

A different number on your old strut does not automatically mean this is wrong, since this part is also listed as UNEB-2905200 alongside its OE number 16521445-00. Rather than relying on either number in isolation, have the old part in front of you before you order, and check its shape, mounting points, and the side it comes from against what is described here. That direct comparison is a better guide than the number stamped on it.

Nothing in this listing says either way, only that it is a metal strut assembly, front right, fitted at the underbody, OE 16521445-00. Since that question is not something the listing can settle, what matters more first is making certain this is the right strut before deciding who should fit it. Check the model and the model year as written on your registration document against this listing, so at least that part of the decision is not in doubt.

This is a metal shock absorber strut assembly, so it is a solid, rigid unit rather than a component built around rubber or plastic mouldings. If your original strut is corroded, bent, or leaking, that is metal fatigue or a seal failure rather than the part simply perishing. If you are trying to identify whether this is the right replacement for your vehicle, check it against the alternative reference it is also listed under, UNEB-2905200, alongside the OE number, before you order.
