No two cv jointss are quite the same across different vehicles, so getting the specifics right matters when you buy used, second hand or a replacement. Answer a few quick questions below and breakers will only quote if they have the exact matching part in stock:
Yes, the Fiat 500C is a front-wheel-drive car and uses CV (constant velocity) joints on both driveshafts to transmit drive from the gearbox to the front wheels. You will have one on the nearside (NS) and one on the offside (OS), and either or both can wear and need replacing. Because all variants of the 500C are front-wheel drive, every version of the car has them.
The Fiat 500C runs on a single generation spanning from 2009 onwards, so a 2012 and a 2015 car are both from the same generation and the driveshafts are generally based on the same platform. However, fitment can vary depending on engine size, so confirm with the breaker that the engine codes match yours before buying. Never assume fitment without checking your registration against the donor vehicle.
Yes, you should always specify NS (nearside, left as you sit in the car) or OS (offside, right as you sit in the car) when ordering, as the two driveshafts can differ in length and joint design. Mixing them up means the part will not fit correctly. Tell the breaker which side is faulty before they pull the part.
Engine size can influence driveshaft and CV joint specification, as larger or more powerful engines can put greater demands on the drivetrain components. The 500C was offered with engines including the 0.9 TwinAir, 1.2, and 1.4 variants, and the joints from different engine variants may not be interchangeable. Always confirm the engine code on your car against the donor vehicle when speaking to the breaker.
Trim level does not affect CV joint fitment on the Fiat 500C — the joints are part of the drivetrain, not the interior or cosmetic specification. A Pop, Lounge, or Rock trim car on the same engine size will use the same driveshaft components. Focus on matching the engine size and model year rather than the trim name when sourcing from a breaker.
The Fiat 500C convertible shares its platform and drivetrain with the standard Fiat 500 hatchback, so CV joints from a matching-engine standard 500 will often be compatible with the 500C. However, you should confirm the engine codes and model years match when speaking to the breaker, as small running changes can occur across production. The body style difference between the hatchback and the cabrio does not affect the drivetrain components.
