Fiat Fullback CV Joints Replacement Parts

The Fiat Fullback is a four-wheel-drive capable pickup truck based on the Mitsubishi L200, and it uses independent front suspension with CV joints on the front driveshafts rather than a solid front axle, so yes, front CV joints are a genuine part on this vehicle. The rear axle is a conventional solid live axle, so there are no rear CV joints to source. When searching, make clear to the breaker whether you need a nearside or offside front CV joint, as these are handed parts.

The Fiat Fullback was produced from 2016 through to around 2020, and it shares its platform and running gear with the fourth-generation Mitsubishi L200 (Series 5) throughout that entire production run, with no major mid-generation drivetrain redesign. In principle, CV joints from a 2016 example should correspond to those from a 2018 example, but because subtle mid-run changes can occur, you should confirm the part against your registration with the breaker before buying. Quoting your VIN will help the breaker verify the exact joint required.

The Fiat Fullback was only offered in the UK with a 2.4-litre diesel engine throughout its production life, so there is no cross-engine fitment concern to worry about here. All UK-market Fullbacks share the same front driveshaft and CV joint specification, meaning engine choice is not a variable you need to consider when sourcing this part.

Trim level does not affect CV joint fitment on the Fiat Fullback — the front driveshafts and joints are determined by the drivetrain and platform, not by whether the vehicle is badged LX, SX, or Cross. You may find cosmetic differences between vehicles when collecting the part from a breaker, but the CV joint itself will be the same unit. Always confirm nearside or offside with the breaker, as that is what determines compatibility.

The Fiat Fullback is mechanically identical to the fourth-generation Mitsubishi L200 (Series 5), built on the same platform and sharing the same front driveshaft components, so L200 CV joints from the corresponding generation are widely regarded as interchangeable. This is worth confirming with the breaker against both VINs, as there are multiple L200 generations and only the Series 5 (2015 onwards) aligns with the Fullback. Sourcing from an L200 breaker can significantly widen your options and often reduce cost.

All UK Fiat Fullbacks are four-wheel-drive vehicles, but only the front axle uses CV joints; the rear axle is a solid live axle assembly that does not use CV joints in the conventional sense. If you have a noise or vibration from the rear drivetrain, the fault is more likely to be a propshaft universal joint or a rear differential component rather than a CV joint, so it is worth describing your symptoms to the breaker so they can help identify the correct part.
