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:
Both years fall within the first-generation Ford C-Max, which ran from 2003 to 2010, so wishbones from across that range are generally considered the same family of part. However, engine size can influence the wishbone specification, so make sure the donor car shares the same engine as yours. Confirm the exact part number with the breaker against your registration before buying.
This is a critical year boundary: the first-generation C-Max ran until 2010, while the second-generation C-Max launched in 2011 as a substantially redesigned model, so the two generations are unlikely to share wishbones. Even if a part looks similar, crossing that 2010-to-2011 boundary is exactly the kind of interchange you need the breaker to verify against both registrations before purchasing.
Trim level — whether Zetec, Titanium, or any other — does not affect wishbone fitment on the C-Max; what matters is the generation and engine size, not the interior or exterior specification. You may receive a wishbone from a car that had different paint or interior trim to yours, but that makes no difference to how it fits or performs. Focus on matching the generation and engine size rather than the trim badge.
Yes, side is critical — nearside (NS, left as you face forward) and offside (OS, right as you face forward) wishbones are handed and are not interchangeable. Always tell the breaker clearly which side you need, and double-check the part when it arrives before fitting.
Engine size can influence suspension and running-gear specifications on the C-Max, particularly where heavier or more powerful engines place different demands on the front end, so it is worth matching the engine size of the donor car to your own where possible. Give the breaker your full registration so they can check the spec rather than relying on engine size alone as a guide.
Both years sit within the second-generation C-Max, which launched in 2011, so they are from the same generation and wishbones are broadly from the same family of parts. Engine size should still be matched between donor and recipient car. Confirm fitment with the breaker against both registrations to be sure, as mid-generation running-gear changes can occasionally affect part compatibility.
