Also known as: half shaft, driveshaft, prop shaft.
- State whether it's left or right

Fitment questions
Will a drive shaft from a 2010 Mazda 2 fit a 2012 Mazda 2?
The Mazda 2 second generation (DJ) ran from 2007 to 2014, so both a 2010 and a 2012 car sit within the same generation — however, fitment depends primarily on engine code and whether the gearbox is manual or automatic, not just the year. Confirm the engine code from your V5 or a VIN check and share it with the breaker, as there were multiple engine options across those years. Never assume year alone guarantees a match.
Does a drive shaft from a pre-facelift Mazda 2 fit a facelift model?
The second-generation Mazda 2 received a facelift in 2010, meaning pre-facelift cars ran from 2007 to 2010 and facelift cars from 2010 to 2014 — there is a crossover period where the boundary sits. Whether a drive shaft crosses that facelift boundary without modification is something you should confirm with the breaker against your specific registration, as ancillary and mounting details can change mid-production. Supply your engine code and gearbox type to give the breaker the best chance of matching correctly.
Does the trim level affect which drive shaft I need — for example, does a SE spec Mazda 2 use a different shaft to an Sport or Takuya?
Trim level — whether SE, Sport, Takuya, or any other — does not affect drive shaft fitment on the Mazda 2; what matters is the engine code, fuel type, and gearbox type. You may receive a shaft from a different trim that looks cosmetically different in finish or has minor bracket differences, but the mechanical fit is determined by the drivetrain, not the badge. Always quote your engine code to the breaker rather than your trim name.
How do I know if I need a nearside or offside drive shaft on my Mazda 2?
Nearside (NS) is the left-hand, passenger side and offside (OS) is the right-hand, driver side — these are not interchangeable, so make sure you tell the breaker which side has failed. On front-wheel-drive Mazda 2s the two shafts can differ in length, so specifying the correct side is essential. If you are unsure which side has failed, a mechanic can confirm before you order.
Will a Mazda 2 drive shaft from a petrol car fit my diesel Mazda 2?
Fuel type affects the engine code and can influence drivetrain components including drive shafts, so a shaft from a petrol Mazda 2 should not be assumed to fit a diesel model without verification. Always supply your exact engine code — found on your V5 logbook or via a VIN check — when requesting a quote from a breaker. Confirm fitment directly with the breaker before purchasing.
Can I use a drive shaft from a third-generation Mazda 2 (2015 onwards) on my second-generation (2007–2014) car?
The third-generation Mazda 2 launched in 2015 on an entirely new platform with different engine codes and suspension geometry, making it a different generation to the 2007–2014 second-generation car. A drive shaft from a 2015-onwards DJ-series Mazda 2 is very unlikely to be compatible with the earlier DE-series, and crossing that generation boundary is not something a buyer should attempt without expert confirmation. Give any breaker both your registration and your engine code so they can cross-reference accurately.
