Used wishbones vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
The Primera ran across three main generations in the UK: the P10 from 1990 to 1996, the P11 from 1996 to 2002 (with a facelift around 1999), and the P12 from 2002 to 2007. Knowing your generation is the single most important thing when searching for a wishbone, so check your V5C or ask the breaker to cross-reference your registration before ordering.
Both a 1997 and a 1998 Primera fall within the P11 generation (1996–2002), so they share the same basic platform and a wishbone from that era is likely to be compatible. However, the P11 received a facelift around 1999, and it is worth confirming with the breaker whether any suspension geometry changes accompanied that update, as that detail is best verified against your specific registration rather than assumed.
These cars sit in different generations — the 2001 is a P11 (1996–2002) and the 2003 is a P12 (2002–2007) — and the front subframe and suspension architecture changed between them, so direct interchangeability across that boundary is unlikely. Confirm with the breaker using both registrations to be certain no part will fit before purchasing.
Trim level does not affect wishbone fitment on the Primera; the S, GX, SE, and Sport trims all share the same suspension pickup points within a given generation. The Sport name refers to interior and cosmetic upgrades rather than a different suspension geometry, so do not be put off if the part comes from a different trim — just make sure the generation and side (NS or OS) match your car.
For the wishbone itself, engine size is not generally a fitment factor on the Primera in the way it can be for brakes; the suspension geometry is consistent across the 1.6, 1.8, and 2.0 petrol engines within each generation. Stick to matching the generation and the correct side (nearside or offside) and you should be looking at the right part, but always confirm with the breaker against your registration.
Nearside (NS) is the passenger side of the car and offside (OS) is the driver's side — in the UK, that means OS is the right-hand side as you sit in the car. Wishbones are handed and will not swap between sides, so check which corner is worn or damaged before contacting a breaker, and quote the correct side clearly to avoid getting the wrong part.
