A buyer's guide to used Hyundai i40 drive shaft
No two drive shafts are quite the same across different vehicles, so getting the specifics right matters when you buy used, second hand or a replacement. Answer a few quick questions below and breakers will only quote if they have the exact matching part in stock:
- State whether it's left or right
- State whether it's manual or automatic
- State if it's 2WD or 4WD

Fitment questions
Will a drive shaft from a 2013 Hyundai i40 fit my 2015 model?
The Hyundai i40 was sold in the UK as a single generation running from 2011 to 2019, with a facelift introduced in 2015, so your 2013 and 2015 cars sit either side of that facelift boundary. The engine code is the most important detail here — if both cars share the same engine code (found on your V5 or via a VIN check), the shaft itself is likely to be mechanically similar, but whether ancillary or mounting details changed at the 2015 facelift is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying.
Does it matter if the i40 drive shaft comes from a diesel or petrol car?
Yes, fuel type matters — the diesel and petrol i40s use different engines with different output characteristics, and the drive shafts are not the same between them. Always make sure the shaft you're buying comes from a car with the same engine code as yours, which you can find on your V5 logbook or through a VIN check. Tell the breaker your engine code and they'll be able to match it correctly.
Is the NS (nearside) drive shaft from an i40 with a manual gearbox the same as one from an automatic?
No — gearbox type directly affects drive shaft fitment, as the shafts connect to different gearbox output flanges on manual and automatic cars. Make sure you specify whether your i40 has a manual or automatic gearbox when getting a quote, along with your engine code and which side you need (NS or OS). A breaker will need all three details to pull the right part.
Does the trim level affect which drive shaft I need — for example, will a shaft from an SE fit a Premium or Style model?
Trim level does not affect drive shaft fitment on the i40 — the mechanical drivetrain is the same whether the donor car is an SE, Premium, or Style. What matters is that the engine code, fuel type, and gearbox type all match your car. You may find cosmetic differences between stripped donor cars, but none of those affect the shaft itself.
Does it matter which side the drive shaft came from — can I swap NS and OS?
No, the nearside (NS, driver's side on a UK car) and offside (OS, passenger's side) drive shafts are different lengths on the i40 and are not interchangeable. Always specify which side has failed when contacting a breaker, and double-check the side on any listing before you buy.
Will a drive shaft from a Hyundai i40 estate fit a saloon version?
Body style does not affect drive shaft fitment — the drivetrain components follow the engine code, not the body type. As long as the engine code, fuel type, and gearbox type match your car, a shaft from either body style should be mechanically compatible, but confirm this with the breaker against your registration as they can check specifics on their system.
