Used Fiat 500X CV Joints

The Fiat 500X was sold in both front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive variants, and CV joints exist on all of them — front CV joints are present on every version, while the AWD models also have rear CV joints on the rear driveshafts. So whether you have a 1.4 petrol, 1.6 diesel, or the larger-engined AWD versions, this is a genuine part on your car. Make sure you tell the breaker both which end you need and whether your car is FWD or AWD.

The Fiat 500X has been a single generation since its launch in 2015, with a facelift arriving in 2018 that refreshed the styling and revised some powertrain options. The basic driveshaft and CV joint architecture is shared across the generation, but whether a pre-facelift joint crosses over to a post-facelift car — particularly where engine changes occurred — is something you should confirm with the breaker against your exact registration before buying.

Engine size can influence driveshaft and CV joint specification because higher-torque engines may use heavier-duty components, and the AWD system found on the larger-engined models adds rear CV joints that the FWD-only smaller-engine variants do not have. When contacting a breaker, give them your engine size (for example 1.0, 1.3, 1.4, 1.6, or 2.4 for the AWD TwinAir and MultiJet variants) as well as whether your car is FWD or AWD. This is more relevant than trim level for getting the right part.

Trim level — whether you have Pop, Cross, Sport, Lounge or any other 500X trim — does not affect CV joint fitment, because these trims share the same running gear on equivalent driveshaft layouts. What actually matters is your drivetrain (FWD or AWD) and your engine variant, not the badge on the back. You can safely disregard trim differences when searching, though do confirm the drivetrain and engine with the breaker to make sure you get a matching part.

Yes — CV joints are side-specific, so you must tell the breaker whether you need the nearside (NS, left-hand side as you sit in the car) or offside (OS, right-hand side) joint. On AWD models you also need to specify front or rear, since all four corners have CV joints. Getting the side wrong means the part will not fit, so double-check before ordering.

No — the Fiat 500X is a larger crossover built on a completely different platform to the smaller Fiat 500 city car, and their driveshafts and CV joints are not interchangeable. The 500X shares more mechanical architecture with models like the Jeep Renegade than it does with its city-car namesake. Always source CV joints specifically listed for the 500X and confirm compatibility with the breaker using your registration number.
