A buyer's guide to used Mazda CX-5 track rod

No two track rods 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:

Fitment questions

Does a track rod from a first-gen Mazda CX-5 fit a second-gen CX-5?

The Mazda CX-5 ran in two generations: the first-gen (KE) from 2012 to 2017, and the second-gen (KF) from 2017 onwards, which is a substantially different platform. Track rods from these two generations are not interchangeable, so you must source a part that matches your specific generation. Confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker before buying.

Will a track rod from a 2015 CX-5 fit a 2016 CX-5?

Both 2015 and 2016 models fall within the first-gen KE generation, so a track rod from either year is likely to be compatible. That said, the KE received a facelift in 2015, so it is worth confirming with the breaker that the part number matches your exact registration to be sure.

Does engine size affect which track rod I need for my Mazda CX-5?

For the CX-5, track rod fitment is primarily determined by generation (KE or KF) rather than engine size, as the steering geometry does not vary significantly between the 2.0-litre petrol, 2.5-litre petrol, and 2.2-litre diesel variants. Give your registration to the breaker so they can confirm the exact part.

Does my CX-5 even have a track rod?

Yes, all Mazda CX-5 variants — regardless of drivetrain, engine, or trim — have track rods as part of the front steering assembly. The track rod (also called a tie rod) connects the steering rack to the front hub and is a standard component on this model.

Does trim level affect which track rod fits my CX-5 — for example, does a Sport Nav or GT Sport need a different one?

Trim level does not affect track rod fitment on the CX-5; parts fitted to SE-L, Sport Nav, GT Sport, and other trim grades within the same generation use the same steering components. The only things that matter are the generation (KE or KF) and whether you need the nearside (NS, left) or offside (OS, right) track rod — so make sure you tell the breaker which side you need.

Do I need to specify NS or OS when buying a used CX-5 track rod?

Yes, track rods are side-specific — the nearside (NS, passenger side) and offside (OS, driver side) are different parts and are not interchangeable. When contacting a breaker, tell them the generation of your CX-5 (KE 2012–2017 or KF 2017 onwards) and clearly state which side you need to make sure you get the correct part.
