Used wishbones 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:
The Fiat Tipo ran in two main generations: the original Tipo (Type 160) from 1988 to 1995, and the second-generation Tipo (Type 356) launched in 2016 and still on sale in recent years. The year matters because wishbones between these generations are completely different and will not interchange. Always tell the breaker which generation your car is so they can pull from the correct vehicle.
Both fall within the second-generation Tipo (Type 356), which launched in 2016, so the bodyshell architecture is shared. That said, confirm with the breaker against your registration, as running-gear components can differ between early and later build dates within a generation. A good breaker will cross-reference your reg to be sure before dispatching.
Yes, this is one of the most important things to get right — nearside (NS, passenger side) and offside (OS, driver side) wishbones are handed and will not swap over. Always state clearly which side you need when contacting a breaker, and double-check by measuring or inspecting the worn component on your car before ordering.
Engine size can influence suspension and running-gear components because heavier or more powerful variants sometimes use uprated geometry parts. When you contact a breaker, give them your exact engine size alongside the year so they can match the component to the correct donor vehicle rather than just the model name.
Trim level alone — whether Easy, Lounge, or Sport — does not determine which wishbone you need, so you do not need to hunt for a Sport-spec donor car if yours is a Sport, for example. What matters is the generation, engine size, and which side you need. Do confirm with the breaker whether any sport suspension variants affect the part, as we'd route that question to them rather than state it as fact.
No — the original Tipo (Type 160, 1988–1995) and the second-generation Tipo (Type 356, 2016 onwards) are entirely different platforms with no meaningful parts commonality in the running gear. Always make clear to the breaker which generation you have, as the model name alone can cause confusion given the 20-year gap between them. Fitting a part from the wrong generation would not be safe or viable.
