Used steering boxs vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
No — the Fiat 500C uses an electric power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering system, not a steering box. Steering boxes are found on older or heavier vehicles; the 500C has never been fitted with one in any variant or engine size. If you need a steering component, you are most likely looking for the steering rack, steering column, or the electric power steering motor and control unit.
The part you almost certainly need is the steering rack (also called the rack and pinion assembly), which is the component that converts steering input into wheel movement on the 500C. You may also need the electric power steering pump or motor, the steering column, or the track rod ends depending on the fault. Searching for 'Fiat 500C steering rack' or 'Fiat 500C EPS motor' will get you to the right listings on a breaker marketplace.
It is very unlikely to be a genuine original-fitment part from a 500C, as this model has never used a steering box in any specification. The listing may be mislabelled, may relate to a different vehicle entirely, or could be a misidentification of the steering rack assembly. We would strongly advise contacting the breaker directly and confirming exactly which vehicle the part was removed from before purchasing.
Trim level does not affect the fundamental steering system on the 500C — all variants use the same electric power-assisted rack-and-pinion setup regardless of whether the car is a Pop, Lounge, or any other trim. There is no steering box on any trim level. If you are sourcing a steering rack or EPS component, focus on the engine size and model year rather than the trim name.
The Fiat 500C (the cabrio/soft-top variant) shares its platform and steering architecture with the standard 500 hatchback, and in many cases components are interchangeable, but you should confirm this against your specific registration with the breaker before purchasing. The 500 range ran from 2007 onwards with a mid-life refresh around 2015, and parts from across that period may differ in detail. Always give the breaker your full reg so they can verify the correct part was pulled from a compatible donor vehicle.
