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 Mazda 6 ran across three main generations: the first generation (GG/GY) from 2002 to 2007, the second generation (GH) from 2008 to 2012, and the third generation (GJ) from 2013 onwards, with a facelift around 2015. Wishbone geometry changed between each of these generations, so you must match the part to the correct generation rather than just the Mazda 6 name. Always quote your registration to the breaker so they can confirm which generation your car is.
2007 falls in the first-generation GG/GY (2002–2007), while 2008 is the start of the second-generation GH, and these are different platforms with different suspension geometry. Wishbones from across that 2007–2008 boundary are unlikely to interchange, but you should confirm this directly with the breaker against both registrations before purchasing. Do not assume compatibility just because the cars look similar or share a name.
On the Mazda 6, engine size can influence suspension components because heavier or more powerful variants sometimes use uprated running gear, so a 2.5-litre petrol or 2.2-litre diesel may not share wishbones with the smaller-engined versions of the same generation. Give the breaker your exact engine size and registration alongside the generation, and let them cross-reference against their parts to confirm a match. Never assume a wishbone is correct based on generation alone without also specifying the engine.
Trim level does not affect wishbone fitment on the Mazda 6 — SE, SE-L, Sport Nav, and Sport Nav Premium all share the same suspension geometry within a given generation and engine variant. What you do need to specify is the side (nearside/NS for the left, offside/OS for the right), the generation, and your engine size, as these are the factors that genuinely matter. A wishbone from a base SE car will fit a Sport Nav of the same generation and engine, so do not pay a premium for a trim-matched part.
Yes, this is critical — nearside (NS, left-hand side as you sit in the car) and offside (OS, right-hand side) wishbones are handed and will not swap across sides. Always confirm which corner needs replacing before contacting a breaker, and state NS or OS clearly in your enquiry. Fitting the wrong side is a straightforward mistake that is easy to avoid by checking the damaged component first.
The third-generation GJ Mazda 6 received a facelift around 2015, and while the underlying platform remained the same, whether suspension components interchange across that facelift boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against your specific registration rather than assume. In many cases running gear is carried over through a cosmetic facelift, but mid-generation changes can sometimes affect component specifications. Give the breaker both the donor car's registration and your own so they can verify the part numbers match before you commit.
