Fitment questions
Does the Fiat 500 have a propshaft?
No — the Fiat 500 is a front-wheel-drive only car in every variant sold in the UK, which means it has no propshaft at all. Propshafts are only found on rear-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive vehicles, and the 500 is neither. If you think you have a drivetrain noise or vibration, you may actually be looking for a driveshaft (also called a CV shaft or half-shaft), which connects the front wheels to the gearbox on a front-wheel-drive car.
I've been quoted a propshaft for my Fiat 500 — is that right?
It is almost certainly a mistake in the listing or the quote — the Fiat 500 is strictly front-wheel-drive and has never been fitted with a propshaft in any engine variant or trim level sold in the UK. What you most likely need is a driveshaft: there is a nearside (NS, driver's side on a UK car) and an offside (OS) version, and they are different parts, so make sure you specify which side when contacting a breaker. Double-check the part name with your breaker against your registration before ordering anything.
What part should I be looking for instead of a propshaft on my Fiat 500?
On a front-wheel-drive car like the Fiat 500, the equivalent rotating drivetrain component is the driveshaft (half-shaft), which runs from the gearbox to each front wheel hub. There are two — a nearside (NS) and an offside (OS) — and they are not interchangeable with each other. When contacting a breaker, give them your registration and specify which side has the fault so they can match the correct part to your exact engine and generation of 500.
Could any special or performance version of the Fiat 500 have a propshaft?
No — even the high-performance Abarth 500 and Abarth 595 variants remain front-wheel-drive, so none of them carry a propshaft. The 500 has never been offered in a four-wheel-drive or rear-wheel-drive configuration in any market, let alone the UK. If someone is advertising a propshaft as fitting a Fiat 500, that listing is incorrect.
I have a noise from under my Fiat 500 that a garage said could be the propshaft — what should I do?
It would be worth getting a second opinion, as the Fiat 500 does not have a propshaft — the symptom is far more likely to be a worn driveshaft, a failing CV joint (the joint at either end of the driveshaft), or possibly a wheel bearing. A clunking noise on turns often points to a CV joint, while a drone or rumble at speed can suggest a wheel bearing. Ask your breaker or garage to confirm the exact part against your registration before sourcing anything used.
