Used Hyundai i10 Track Rod

Yes, the Hyundai i10 is a front-wheel-drive car and uses a rack-and-pinion steering system, so it does have track rods (also called tie rods) connecting the steering rack to the front wheels. Every variant of the i10 uses this setup, so track rods are a genuine and commonly replaced part on this model.

The first-generation i10 ran from 2007 to 2013, and the second generation launched in 2013 with a facelift around 2016 — these are significantly different cars with different platforms, so the track rods are unlikely to be interchangeable. You should confirm compatibility with the breaker against your exact registration before buying.

For the i10, engine size makes very little practical difference to track rod fitment because all variants are lightweight front-wheel-drive city cars with similar steering geometry. That said, it is always worth giving the breaker your full registration so they can confirm the exact part against your specific build.

Yes, track rods are side-specific — the nearside (NS, passenger side) and offside (OS, driver side) are handed parts and will not be interchangeable. Make sure you identify which side needs replacing before contacting a breaker, and quote both your registration and the correct side to avoid getting the wrong part.

Trim level does not affect track rod fitment on the i10 — the steering geometry is the same across Classic, Premium, SE, and other trim grades. You may find cosmetic differences on parts sourced from different trim cars, but the track rod itself is a functional component unaffected by trim, so any matching-generation example should be suitable subject to confirmation with the breaker.

The third-generation i10 launched in 2019 on a new platform, so parts from the 2013-2019 second-gen car are very unlikely to cross over directly. Name the generation boundary to your breaker and ask them to check the part number against your registration before purchasing, as assuming compatibility across this change could result in the wrong part.
