Second Hand Hyundai i40 Anti Roll Bar

The Hyundai i40 was produced as a single generation running from 2011 to 2019, with a facelift arriving around 2015, so there is no generation boundary to cross — you are always dealing with the same fundamental platform. Pre-facelift and post-facelift cars share the same basic suspension architecture, but whether anti roll bar dimensions changed across the 2015 facelift is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying. The breaker can cross-reference your reg to make sure the bar they have matches yours exactly.

Engine size can influence suspension components on some cars, as heavier or more powerful variants sometimes use uprated running gear, and this is worth checking on the i40. You should confirm with the breaker whether the bar from the donor car's engine variant matches your own, quoting both your registration and theirs. Do not assume a 1.6 bar and a 2.0 bar are interchangeable without that check.

Trim level on its own does not affect anti roll bar fitment — a Classic and a Premium on the same engine and body style share the same suspension layout. What matters is the engine size and whether the car is pre- or post-facelift, not what badge is on the bootlid. One thing to bear in mind is that if a donor car has been fitted with optional or dealer-fitted sport suspension, the bar specification could differ, so confirm against your registration with the breaker to be safe.

Yes, the i40 is fitted with anti roll bars at both the front and rear axle as standard across its range, so make sure you tell the breaker which end you need — the front and rear bars are not interchangeable. Quoting your registration will help the breaker identify the correct bar for your specific car.

The i40 was sold in the UK in both saloon and estate (wagon, badged CW) body styles, and these body styles can have differences in rear suspension components due to differing load requirements, so you should not assume the bars are identical. Confirm with the breaker whether the bar from the donor car's body style matches yours by quoting both registrations. Never assume a cross-body-style swap will fit without that check.

A 2013 i40 is pre-facelift and a 2017 car is post-facelift (the refresh came around 2015), so you are potentially crossing that facelift boundary. The underlying platform is the same, but whether the anti roll bar dimensions or mounting points changed between those years is something you must confirm with the breaker against both registrations rather than assume. A good breaker will be able to cross-reference the part numbers to give you a definitive answer before you commit.
