A used wishbone that fits one vehicle won't always fit another - even within the same model range. These questions help breakers match stock to your exact vehicle before they quote:
The Hyundai i40 was sold in the UK from 2011 to 2019, with a facelift arriving in 2015 that updated the styling but did not fundamentally change the suspension geometry. For wishbone fitment purposes, the key question is whether the part is from the pre-facelift (2011–2015) or post-facelift (2015–2019) car, so confirm the exact year of the donor car with the breaker against your registration before buying.
Your 2013 car is pre-facelift and your 2016 is post-facelift, and although the i40 is a single generation, suspension components can differ across that 2015 facelift boundary. It is possible they share the same wishbone, but crossing that boundary means you should confirm compatibility with the breaker using both registrations rather than assuming a straight swap.
Yes, side absolutely matters — nearside (NS, left, passenger side) and offside (OS, right, driver side) wishbones are handed and are not interchangeable. Always tell the breaker clearly which side you need, and double-check this against your own car before fitting.
Engine size can influence suspension components because heavier or more powerful variants sometimes use uprated running gear, so a 1.6-litre petrol donor car may not be a guaranteed match for a 2.0-litre or 1.7 CRDi diesel. Give the breaker your exact engine size alongside your registration so they can verify the part is from a matching or confirmed-compatible application.
Trim level does not affect wishbone fitment on the i40 — SE, Premium, and Premium SE all share the same suspension design, so a part pulled from any of those trims will not be a different wishbone by virtue of the badge alone. That said, if there are any cosmetic differences such as surface finish or brackets on the second-hand part, that is a cosmetic matter and will not affect function, so do not let it put you off an otherwise correct part.
Without a confirmed year you cannot be certain whether the part is pre- or post-facelift (2011–2015 versus 2015–2019), and that boundary is the main fitment risk to be aware of. Ask the breaker to check the donor vehicle's registration or VIN so they can confirm it against your own car's details before you commit to buying.
