Used cv jointss 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:
Yes, the Hyundai i40 is a front-wheel-drive car, so it uses CV (constant velocity) joints to transfer drive from the gearbox to the front wheels — one driveshaft on each side, each with inner and outer CV joints. All i40 variants, whether saloon or estate (tourer), across all engine options share this front-wheel-drive layout. If you need a CV joint for your i40, you're looking in the right place.
The Hyundai i40 was produced as a single generation, launched in the UK in 2011 and running through to around 2019, with a facelift arriving in 2015. CV joints from a pre-facelift car (2011–2014) may well interchange with a post-facelift car (2015–2019), but the facelift is a known boundary and you should confirm compatibility with the breaker against your exact registration before buying.
Engine size can influence driveshaft and CV joint specification, as higher-torque engines sometimes use heavier-duty components. The i40 was offered in the UK with a range of petrol and diesel engines, so always tell the breaker your exact engine size and fuel type — for example 1.6 petrol, 1.7 diesel — when requesting a quote. Quoting your registration is the simplest way to ensure the breaker pulls the correct part.
Yes, side matters — the nearside (NS, left/driver's side in UK traffic) and offside (OS, right/passenger's side) driveshafts can differ in length and joint specification, so they are not necessarily interchangeable. Always tell the breaker which side you need when requesting a quote. Getting this wrong means the part won't fit, so double-check by measuring or confirming with a mechanic if you're unsure.
Trim level does not affect CV joint fitment on the i40 — Classic, Style, and Premium are specification packages covering interior and cosmetic features rather than drivetrain changes. What matters is the engine size, the model year (particularly pre- or post-2015 facelift), and which side you need. You may receive a CV joint from a donor car in a different trim, which is fine — the joint itself will be the same.
Both the i40 saloon and estate share the same front-wheel-drive platform and drivetrain layout, so CV joints from either body style are potentially compatible. However, you should still confirm with the breaker against your registration, as subtle differences in driveshaft length or joint spec can exist and the breaker can verify this against the donor vehicle's details.
