No, rear upper arms are a different design. Same shape, and will physically fit, but different bushes.

Lower arms may be the same though

Struts/Shocks are also different

They can be repaired/reconditioned, but by the time you take later into account, it's quicker, easier and cheaper to replace the complete unit Thumbs Up

Why not just buy the right parts for your car? Question

Well it's of a rrs just a newer one so that's why I was asking if it's the same if I was a expert I wouldn't be asking

But you also asked if Disco 4 bits would fit Confused

£235 for a rear strut is a fair price. If you are thinking of 2nd hand parts, be wary or fitting a part that has the same issues as yours. Wouldnt want to scrimp on a safety critical part Thumbs Up

Spain 

I agree with Disco Mikey, Why not just buy the right parts for your car?

Why risk fitting used parts, even though the part is from a 2010 car, what is the history, has it been subjected to heavy towing, off road abuse, accident, etc etc In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

2010MY struts are different from 05-09MY struts, hence the questioning...

So, you asked for advice. Completely ignored that advice, and fitted a 2nd hand, safety critical suspension component? Confused
