Second Hand Hyundai Getz Track Rod

Yes, the Getz has track rods (also called tie rods) as part of its front steering rack assembly — all variants of the Getz use rack-and-pinion steering with inner and outer track rod ends on both the nearside (NS) and offside (OS). This applies across the full production run regardless of engine size or trim level.

The Getz ran as a single generation from 2002 to 2009 with a facelift around 2005, and in most cases the track rod dimensions remained consistent across the full production run. However, because your question spans the 2005 facelift boundary, you should confirm with the breaker against your exact registration before buying, as minor steering geometry revisions can sometimes accompany a facelift. Give the breaker both the donor car's year and your own registration so they can check part numbers match.

For the Getz, track rod fitment is primarily determined by the generation and steering rack fitted rather than engine size — unlike brakes, the steering geometry on the Getz was not typically varied between the 1.1, 1.3, and 1.6 engine variants. That said, it is always worth confirming with the breaker against your registration, as part numbers can occasionally differ in ways that are not immediately obvious from the engine code alone.

Trim level does not affect track rod fitment on the Getz — the steering components are the same whether your car is a base-spec model or a higher trim such as the GSi. You may find cosmetic differences between donor cars from different trim levels, but the track rod itself is a mechanical part unaffected by trim, so this is not something to worry about when sourcing from a breaker.

Yes, you need to specify the side — the Getz has a separate track rod end on the NS (nearside, passenger side) and OS (offside, driver side), and breakers will list them individually. Make sure you know which side is worn or damaged before contacting a breaker, as ordering the wrong side is a common and easily avoided mistake.

The Getz track rod is specific to the Getz platform and is unlikely to be a direct swap onto other Hyundai models such as the Accent or i20 without verification, even where those models share some components. If you are asking because you are struggling to source a Getz part, ask the breaker to cross-reference the part number against compatible vehicles, as they will have access to fitment data you may not find online.
