Used Fiat Bravo Wishbone

The Fiat Bravo covered here is the second-generation model, built from 2007 to 2014 — the original Bravo and Brava of the 1990s are a completely different car with different running gear. All second-generation Bravos share the same basic platform, but engine size can influence front suspension geometry and component sizing, so always quote your engine alongside the year when asking a breaker for a wishbone.

Both the 2008 and 2012 cars sit within the same second-generation Bravo run (2007–2014), so in principle the wishbone design is consistent across those years. That said, any mid-generation revisions to suspension components are exactly the kind of detail you should confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying. Always specify NS (nearside/left) or OS (offside/right) when ordering, as the two sides are not interchangeable.

Trim level — whether Active, Dynamic, or Emotion — does not affect wishbone fitment on the Fiat Bravo; these are cosmetic and equipment distinctions rather than suspension differences. The factors that genuinely matter are the generation (second-gen, 2007–2014), your engine size, and which side of the car you need. You may find minor cosmetic differences on pulled parts such as protective coatings or brackets, but the structural wishbone itself should be the same across trims.

Engine size can matter for lower suspension and braking components because heavier or more powerful variants are sometimes engineered with uprated geometry or larger components. When contacting a breaker, give them your exact engine size — for example 1.4, 1.6, 1.9 diesel, or 2.0 — alongside the year, so they can pull the correct part from a matching donor car. Never assume a part from a smaller-engined Bravo will be identical to one from a higher-output version without the breaker confirming it against your registration.

Yes, NS (nearside, left-hand side as you sit in the car) and OS (offside, right-hand side) wishbones are handed and will not swap across to the other side. When you contact a breaker, be clear about which side you need and double-check by looking at the part number on your existing wishbone if it is still accessible. Getting the side wrong is one of the most common reasons for a return, so it is worth taking a moment to confirm before the order is placed.

No — the 1990s Fiat Bravo (first generation, sometimes called the Bravo/Brava) is an entirely different vehicle from the second-generation Bravo launched in 2007, and the suspension components are not compatible. Always make sure the breaker you are quoting knows you need parts for the 2007–2014 second-generation model, as some listings may simply say 'Bravo' without distinguishing between the two. Mixing up the generations is a straightforward mistake to avoid once you are aware of it.
