What to check when buying a used Ford Ka wishbone
A used wishbone that fits one vehicle won't always fit another - even within the same model range. These questions help breakers match stock to your exact vehicle before they quote:

Fitment questions
What years did the Ford Ka run, and are there different generations to worry about when buying a used wishbone?
The Ford Ka ran in two distinct generations: the original Mk1 from 1996 to 2008, and the Mk2 from 2008 to 2016. These two generations are completely different cars built on different platforms, so a wishbone from a Mk1 will not fit a Mk2 and vice versa. When searching for a used wishbone, always confirm which generation your Ka is with the breaker against your registration.
Will a wishbone from a 2005 Ka fit my 2009 Ka?
A 2005 Ka is a Mk1 (1996–2008) and a 2009 Ka is a Mk2 (2008–2016), so these sit either side of a clear generation boundary and the parts are not interchangeable. The Mk2 was a completely different car based on the Fiat 500 platform, meaning the suspension components are unrelated to the Mk1. Always quote your exact registration to the breaker to make sure you are getting the correct generation's wishbone.
Does engine size matter when buying a used Ford Ka wishbone?
For the Mk1 Ka the engine range was relatively narrow and the suspension geometry was broadly consistent, but it is still worth confirming your engine size with the breaker as there can be subtle differences between variants. For the Mk2 Ka, which was offered with 1.2 and 1.3 TDCi engines, confirm your engine size when requesting a quote. Providing your registration to the breaker is the safest way to ensure the correct wishbone is sourced for your specific car.
Does it matter whether I need a nearside or offside wishbone on a Ford Ka?
Yes, side is critical — a nearside (NS, driver's left) and offside (OS, driver's right) wishbone are handed and will not swap over. When contacting a breaker, always specify NS or OS clearly alongside your generation and registration. Getting this wrong means the wishbone simply will not fit, so double-check which side needs replacing before you place your order.
Does the trim level affect which wishbone I need — for example, does a Studio, Zetec or Titanium Ka need a different part?
Trim level does not affect wishbone fitment on the Ford Ka — a Studio, Zetec or Titanium will use the same wishbone for the same generation and side. You may find cosmetic differences on parts sourced from different trim levels, but these are irrelevant for a wishbone. Focus on confirming the correct generation (Mk1 1996–2008 or Mk2 2008–2016), the side required, and your registration with the breaker.
I have a 2013 Ford Ka — will a wishbone from any other Mk2 Ka fit it?
Your 2013 Ka sits within the Mk2 generation (2008–2016), so in principle you are looking at parts from within that same generation. However, always confirm the exact year and engine variant of the donor car with the breaker against your registration, as there can be detail differences within a generation that are not immediately obvious. Never assume a part will fit based on generation alone — let the breaker verify compatibility.
