Choosing the right used Hyundai i40 propshaft
Used propshafts 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:
- State if it's 2WD or 4WD
- State whether it's front or rear if applicable

Fitment questions
Does the Hyundai i40 have a propshaft?
No — the Hyundai i40 is a front-wheel-drive only model in all its variants sold in the UK, so it was never fitted with a propshaft at any point in its production run. Propshafts only exist on rear-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive vehicles, and the i40 is neither. If you are hearing a droning or vibrating noise from underneath the car, you may actually be looking for a driveshaft (also called a CV shaft or half-shaft), which transfers drive from the front differential to the front wheels. A good UK breaker will be able to quote you for the correct driveshaft once you confirm your registration and which side — nearside (NS, passenger side) or offside (OS, driver side) — needs replacing.
I've been quoted for a propshaft for my i40 — is that right?
It is almost certainly a mistake in the parts listing or a miscommunication, as the Hyundai i40 is front-wheel-drive only and has no propshaft in any trim or engine variant. The part you most likely need is a front driveshaft, and it is worth going back to the breaker and confirming whether they mean a driveshaft rather than a propshaft. Make sure to tell them your registration number and which side requires attention — NS (nearside/passenger) or OS (offside/driver) — so they can pull the correct part.
Could any version of the i40 — saloon, estate, diesel or petrol — have a propshaft?
No version of the i40 sold in the UK came with a propshaft — not the saloon (VF), not the estate (CW), and not any engine variant including the 1.6 GDi petrol, 2.0 GDi petrol, or the 1.6 and 2.0 CRDi diesels. Every i40 variant uses a front-wheel-drive layout, meaning there is no rear axle receiving power and therefore no propshaft in the drivetrain. If your car has a fault related to vibration or a knocking noise on acceleration, the part to look at is a front driveshaft or CV joint rather than a propshaft.
What part should I actually be searching for instead of a propshaft on my Hyundai i40?
The part you most likely need is a front driveshaft — these are the shafts that run from the gearbox out to each front wheel and are a common wear item on front-wheel-drive cars like the i40. When asking a breaker for one, confirm your registration, the engine variant (for example 1.6 CRDi or 2.0 GDi), and whether you need the nearside (NS) or offside (OS) shaft, as the two sides are not interchangeable. If the noise or vibration is at the wheel end, you may only need a CV joint boot or outer CV joint rather than the full driveshaft assembly, which a good breaker can advise on.
