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:
The Hyundai ix35 ran as a single generation from 2010 to 2015, with a facelift introduced in 2013, so a 2012 unit and a 2014 unit sit either side of that facelift boundary. The engine code is the most important matching point here — if both cars share the same engine code, fuel type, and gearbox type (manual or automatic), fitment is more likely, but whether the drive shaft itself changed at the 2013 facelift is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying.
No — petrol and diesel ix35s use different engines with different engine codes, and drive shaft specifications follow the engine rather than the badge, so these are not interchangeable. Always match on engine code, which you can find on your V5C or through a VIN check, and pass that to the breaker when requesting a quote.
Yes, this is critical — a front-wheel-drive ix35 and an all-wheel-drive ix35 have fundamentally different driveline layouts, and the drive shafts are not the same. Make sure you tell the breaker exactly which drivetrain your car has, and confirm NS (nearside, left) or OS (offside, right) as required, since these are also different parts.
Trim level does not affect drive shaft fitment on the ix35 — Classic, SE, Premium, and other trim variants all follow the same mechanical specification for a given engine code, gearbox type, and drivetrain. The breaker may supply a shaft from any trim, so don't be concerned if the donor vehicle was a different spec to yours, as long as the engine code, fuel type, gearbox, and drivetrain match.
The engine code stamped on your engine (and listed on your V5C or via a VIN check) is the single most reliable detail to give the breaker, more so than just the 1.7 CRDi description, since variants can exist across model years. Also confirm whether your car is manual or automatic and whether it is front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, then specify NS or OS to ensure you get the correct shaft for your side.
The 2013 facelift is a named production boundary for the ix35, and while both generations share the same basic platform, whether drive shaft specifications changed across that boundary is not something that can be confirmed here as a blanket fact. Give the breaker both the engine code and your registration so they can check their stock matches your specific car, rather than relying on year alone.
