Fitment on a used wishbone varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
The Ford S-Max ran across two main generations: the first generation covered 2006 to 2015, with a facelift arriving in 2010, and the second generation ran from 2015 onwards. Wishbones are running-gear components and fitment is tied to generation, so a part from the first generation will not simply swap into the second generation without confirmation. Always quote your registration to the breaker so they can match the correct generation.
This question crosses a generation boundary: the first generation ended in 2015 and the second generation also launched in 2015, so a 2012 car is first-gen while a 2015 car could be either. Wishbone geometry can differ between generations, so you should not assume they interchange. Confirm with the breaker using both registrations before purchasing.
On most S-Max models the wishbone itself is not directly affected by engine size, but larger or more powerful engines can be paired with uprated brakes or subtly different suspension geometry, so it is worth mentioning your engine size to the breaker. For the vast majority of standard S-Max applications the same-generation wishbone will be the key matching factor. Confirm against your registration with the breaker to be sure.
Trim level – whether Zetec, Titanium, or Titanium X – does not affect wishbone fitment on the S-Max, as running gear is not changed between these trim grades. You may find cosmetic differences on a part pulled from a higher-spec car, but these will not affect how it fits. Match by generation and side (NS or OS) rather than by trim.
Yes, side absolutely matters – a nearside (NS, driver's side in UK right-hand-drive) wishbone will not fit the offside (OS, passenger side) location and vice versa. To work out which you need, stand behind the car: the nearside is on your right and the offside is on your left. Always specify NS or OS clearly when requesting a quote from the breaker.
The first-generation S-Max received a facelift in 2010, and while the overall platform carried over, suspension components can differ in detail across a facelift update. You should name the facelift as a boundary and not assume a pre-2010 wishbone will directly interchange with a post-2010 first-gen part. Confirm both donor and recipient registrations with the breaker before buying.
