Fitment on a used wishbone varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
The first-generation CX-5 ran from 2012 to 2017, with a facelift arriving in 2015; the second generation launched in 2017 and continues the CX-5 name to this day. Wishbones within the same generation generally share the same geometry, but always confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker, as mid-generation revisions can affect fitment. Never assume a part fits based on year range alone.
A 2016 CX-5 is first-generation (pre-2017) and a 2018 CX-5 is second-generation, so this question crosses a generation boundary where the platform changed. Wishbones from these two generations are unlikely to interchange, but you should confirm this directly with the breaker against both registrations rather than assume they do or don't. Always quote your reg when requesting a quote on Findapart.
Engine size can influence suspension and running gear components, so a wishbone from a 2.5-litre CX-5 may not be identical to one from a 2.0-litre car even in the same generation. Confirm with the breaker which engine size the donor vehicle had and match it to yours for the best chance of correct fitment. This is especially worth checking on second-generation cars where the 2.5 was more widely available.
Trim level — whether SE, SE-L, Sport Nav, or GT Sport — does not affect wishbone fitment on the CX-5, as the running gear is determined by generation and engine size rather than the specification level. You can expect trim-related cosmetic differences on a donor car, but these have no bearing on whether the wishbone itself will fit. Confirm the generation and engine with the breaker and you can disregard the trim name.
Yes — front wishbones are handed, meaning the nearside (NS, left as you sit in the car) and offside (OS, right) are different parts and cannot be swapped. When requesting quotes on Findapart, always state which side you need along with your registration so the breaker can pull the correct arm. Fitting the wrong side will affect your geometry and is a safety risk.
The 2015 facelift is where the first-generation CX-5 received updates, so a 2014 and 2013 car are both pre-facelift within the first generation (2012–2017), making them more likely to share wishbone components. That said, you should still confirm part compatibility against both registrations with the breaker, as minor running changes can occur outside of a formal facelift. Never rely solely on year and generation as a guarantee of fitment.
