A used cv joints 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:
The Getz is indeed front-wheel-drive, but CV joints absolutely exist on it — front-wheel-drive cars use CV joints on their driveshafts to transmit drive to the front wheels while allowing steering movement. You'll have an inner and outer CV joint on each driveshaft, so they are a genuine and commonly replaced part on the Getz.
The Hyundai Getz ran from 2002 to 2009 with a facelift around 2005-2006, so a 2003 car is pre-facelift and a 2007 is post-facelift. The driveshaft and CV joint dimensions can vary between these phases, so crossing the facelift boundary is not a straightforward swap — confirm with the breaker that they can match the part to your exact registration before purchasing.
Engine size does matter here because a larger, more powerful engine puts greater torque through the driveshaft, and manufacturers sometimes use beefier driveshaft and CV joint assemblies on higher-powered variants. A 1.1 CV joint is not reliably interchangeable with one from a 1.6, so always tell the breaker your exact engine size when requesting a quote.
Yes, side matters significantly for CV joints on the Getz. The nearside (NS, left-hand side, passenger side) and offside (OS, right-hand side, driver's side) driveshafts are often different lengths, and the CV joints are matched to those specific shafts. Always specify whether you need the NS or OS joint when contacting a breaker.
Trim level does not affect CV joint fitment on the Getz — the joints are determined by engine size and model phase, not by whether the car was a base S or a higher GSi specification. If a GSi unit came with the same engine as your car and is from the same generation phase, the CV joints should correspond, though you should always confirm with the breaker against your registration to be certain.
The facelift introduced in 2005-2006 brought various running gear updates, and whether the CV joints changed as part of that refresh is not something that can be confirmed here with certainty. Crossing the pre-facelift to facelift boundary is exactly the kind of question you should put to the breaker with your registration number, as they can check the actual part numbers before you commit to a purchase.
