Used steering boxs vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
No — the Hyundai i20 uses a rack-and-pinion steering system, not a steering box. A steering box is a recirculating-ball unit found on older or heavier vehicles; the i20 never had one fitted to any variant or engine size. If you need the steering rack itself (the rack-and-pinion assembly), that is the correct part to search for on your i20.
Yes, generation matters: the first-generation i20 ran from 2008 to 2014, and the second-generation (sometimes called the GB-series) ran from 2014 onwards, with a facelift around 2018. The steering rack changed between these generations, so a rack from a first-gen car will not fit a second-gen i20. Always quote your registration to the breaker so they can confirm the exact rack for your build date.
These two cars sit in different generations — the 2013 car is first-generation (2008–2014) and the 2015 car is second-generation (2014 onwards) — so the racks are unlikely to be interchangeable. Even within a generation, electric power-assisted steering (EPAS) calibration can vary, so confirm the part number with the breaker against both registrations before purchasing.
Trim level does not affect which steering rack was fitted; the rack fitment is determined by generation and engine size, not whether the car is a Classic, SE, Sport, or Premium grade. You may find minor differences in how the steering feels between trims due to software calibration, but the physical rack and its mounting are the same across trims for a given generation and engine variant. Confirm engine size and generation with the breaker rather than worrying about trim.
It can do — different engine variants can have slightly different power-steering system specifications, particularly between the smaller petrol engines and the diesel units. When contacting a breaker, give them your full registration or at minimum the generation and engine size so they can match the correct rack. Do not assume all engines within the same generation share an identical rack without checking.
Search for a 'steering rack' or 'steering rack and pinion' — this is the correct term for the steering assembly on the i20. You may also need to specify whether you want the rack with or without the EPAS motor attached, as some breakers list these separately. Give the breaker your registration to ensure you get the right unit for your generation and engine.
