Used Hyundai i10 Suspension Leg

The i10 has run across three generations: the first generation (2008–2013), the second generation (2013–2019), and the third generation (2019–present). Generation is the most important factor for suspension leg fitment, as the underpinnings changed significantly between each generation. A suspension leg from the wrong generation is very unlikely to fit, so always tell your breaker which generation yours is before getting a quote.

This is a key boundary to watch — the i10 moved from first generation to second generation in 2013, meaning a 2013 car could be either generation depending on its build date. A suspension leg from a 2014 second-generation i10 will not fit a first-generation 2013 car, as the two generations have different suspension geometry and mounting points. Give your exact registration to the breaker so they can confirm which generation your car actually is before agreeing a sale.

On the i10, trim levels such as Classic, SE, Premium, and later SE Connect do not affect suspension leg fitment — the running gear is the same across trims within the same generation. You may find minor cosmetic differences on the parts themselves, but these do not affect whether the leg will physically fit and function correctly. Confirm the generation and engine size match, and trim can safely be ignored.

For the i10, engine size is worth mentioning to your breaker, as some markets received slightly different suspension tuning for different engine variants. However, the i10's engine range is relatively narrow — typically 1.0 and 1.2 petrol units — and the basic suspension leg design is generally shared across these. To be safe, confirm your engine size with the breaker alongside your generation, as any spring or damper rate differences between variants should be verified rather than assumed identical.

Yes — suspension legs are handed, meaning the nearside (NS, driver's left, kerb side) and offside (OS, driver's right) legs are mirror images of each other and are not interchangeable. Always tell your breaker whether you need the NS or OS leg, as ordering the wrong side means the part will not fit correctly. If you are unsure which side you need, the NS is the left-hand side as you sit in the driver's seat.

The second-generation i10 (2013–2019) received a facelift during its production run, and while the core suspension architecture was carried over, whether a specific leg from before and after the facelift is a direct swap is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration rather than assume. Name the generation clearly when requesting a quote, and ask the breaker to cross-reference your reg to check compatibility, as subtle mid-generation changes can affect fitment.
