Second Hand Hyundai i30 Wheel Hub

This crosses a significant model boundary: the first-generation i30 ran from 2007 to 2012, while the second-generation i30 started in 2012, so a 2010 hub and a 2014 hub are from entirely different generations with different suspension architecture. You should not assume these will interchange, and you must confirm with the breaker against your exact registration before ordering. Quoting your reg to the breaker is the safest way to make sure you get the right hub.

Both years fall within the second-generation i30 (2012–2017), so there is a reasonable chance of compatibility, but the second generation received a facelift in 2015 and it is worth checking whether any running-gear changes were made at that point. Confirm with the breaker against your registration to be sure, as mid-generation updates can sometimes affect hub or bearing carrier specs. Never assume fitment solely on year range.

Trim level does not affect wheel hub fitment on the i30; SE, SR, Premium, and similar grades share the same hub assemblies within the same generation. What can vary is the brake disc and caliper size, particularly if the donor car had a larger engine, so make sure the engine size matches as well as the generation. You may find cosmetic differences on surrounding components, but the hub itself is trim-neutral.

Both the 2008 and 2011 i30 sit within the first generation (2007–2012), so fitment is more likely than crossing into the second generation, but you should still confirm with the breaker against your registration. Engine size can influence brake and hub assembly specs, so it is worth checking that the donor car matches your engine as well as your year range. Always quote your reg to the breaker rather than relying on years alone.

Yes, NS (nearside, passenger side) and OS (offside, driver side) hubs must match, as the ABS sensor ring orientation and bearing flange can differ between left and right. Always specify which side you need when contacting a breaker, and confirm against your registration. Fitting the wrong side can cause ABS faults or uneven bearing wear.

The third-generation i30 launched in 2017 and uses a different platform from the second generation, so hubs from a 2012–2017 car are very unlikely to cross over to a 2017-onwards model. You must confirm with the breaker against your exact registration, as platform changes typically mean different hub carriers, bearings, and ABS arrangements. Do not assume fitment across this generation boundary.
