Hyundai Accent Wishbone Replacement Parts

The Hyundai Accent ran across several distinct generations in the UK: the first generation (X3) covered roughly 1994–1999, the second generation (LC) ran from 2000–2005, and the third generation (MC) ran from 2006–2011. Knowing which generation you have is the single most important factor when sourcing a wishbone, as the geometry and mounting points differ between generations.

These two cars fall either side of the LC-to-MC generation change, with the second-generation LC running to 2005 and the third-generation MC starting in 2006, so the wishbones are not the same. You should confirm with the breaker using both registration numbers before ordering, as parts crossing a generation boundary are unlikely to interchange.

For the Accent the wishbone design is primarily determined by generation rather than engine size, as this is a relatively lightweight passenger car without the heavier braking or suspension packages sometimes found on larger-engined models. That said, always give the breaker your full registration so they can verify against the exact specification on record.

Trim level does not affect wishbone fitment on the Hyundai Accent — the running gear is the same across trim grades within the same generation. You may find cosmetic or minor interior differences between a GSi and a CDX donor car, but these have no bearing on whether the wishbone will fit your vehicle.

No, nearside (NS, left) and offside (OS, right) wishbones are handed and are not interchangeable. Always specify NS or OS clearly when contacting a breaker, and double-check the part they quote matches the side you need before purchasing.

In most cases wishbones will interchange freely within the same generation, but mid-generation running-gear revisions can occasionally affect fitment. To be safe, give the breaker both the donor and recipient registration numbers so they can confirm the parts match before you commit.
