Suspension for the Suzuki Kizashi
The Kizashi sold here as the Kizashi, launched in South Africa in 2011 and long since withdrawn, so we work from the generation rather than the name on the tailgate to find Suzuki Kizashi parts, matched to your car
Used, aftermarket and reconditioned parts. Not supplied by Suzuki Auto South Africa.
What we need before we can price suspension
South African road surfaces are harsher on suspension than the conditions these cars were originally calibrated for, and Suzuki's lighter kerb weights mean components are sized closer to the limit. The Jimny is its own case entirely: enough of them have been lifted or re-shod that standard-height parts are the wrong answer more often than not.
The decision in front of you is usually whether to replace only the component that has failed or refresh the whole corner, because everything bolted alongside a worn damper has covered exactly the same distance over exactly the same roads. To get you a straight answer on it we need the generation or year, and — if it is a Jimny or a 4x4 derivative — whether the suspension is standard or has been modified.
The car
Suzuki Kizashi, year of manufacture, and the derivative if you know it.
The code
VIN or registration number. A photo of the licence disc works just as well.
The problem
What has failed, or what you need replaced. A photo helps for anything cosmetic.
Which suspension does your Kizashi need?
The generation or year, and — if it is a Jimny or a 4x4 derivative — whether the suspension is standard or has been modified will settle most of these. Pick the component and we'll confirm the rest.

The Kizashi reached South Africa as the Kizashi, launched in South Africa in 2011 and long since withdrawn, running J24B 2.4. Suspension fitment splits on the generation long before it splits on trim. This car sold in tiny numbers here and has been outside the dealer network for years, so anything Kizashi-specific has to be tracked down rather than ordered — the engine is the exception, because it was not exclusive to the model. Find your derivative below, then send the code from the VIN plate with your enquiry.
- Suzuki Kizashi 2.4 SDLX
- Suzuki Kizashi 2.4 SLX
- Suzuki Kizashi 2.4 Sport

How we pin suspension to your particular Kizashi
What shifts across the years
There is no single Kizashi for parts purposes — the Kizashi, launched in South Africa in 2011 and long since withdrawn have all been sold here.
This car sold in tiny numbers here and has been outside the dealer network for years, so anything Kizashi-specific has to be tracked down rather than ordered — the engine is the exception, because it was not exclusive to the model.
Useful to know: the Kizashithe J24B is shared with the 2.4-litre JT Grand Vitara, which is the one place Kizashi sourcing gets easier.
What we check on suspension
- •The generation code — the Kizashi parts list splits on it
- •Which engine you have; this one was sold with J24B 2.4
- •The generation or year, and — if it is a Jimny or a 4x4 derivative — whether the suspension is standard or has been modified
- •Where the car sits either side of its facelift
Locally, the Kizashi is mostly kept on the road by owners who like it rather than by anyone who needs it, which means they are willing to wait for the right part instead of accepting an approximation. That is the wear pattern we source against, and it is why we ask what the car does rather than only what it is.
Suzuki Kizashi Suspension — questions we get asked
Does suspension fitment change across Kizashi generations?
Yes. This car sold in tiny numbers here and has been outside the dealer network for years, so anything Kizashi-specific has to be tracked down rather than ordered — the engine is the exception, because it was not exclusive to the model. With the Kizashi, launched in South Africa in 2011 and long since withdrawn to choose between, suspension is not something we quote off the model name alone.
Which Kizashi engines were sold here, and does it affect suspension?
J24B 2.4. Suspension fitment often follows the engine family rather than the nameplate, so the code on the block is worth reading before you order.
Could suspension from another model fit my Kizashi?
It can. The J24B is shared with the 2.4-litre JT Grand Vitara, which is the one place Kizashi sourcing gets easier. That gives us somewhere else to look when suspension is slow to turn up under the Kizashi name, though we still confirm the match against your VIN first.
