Peugeot 408 Wishbone Replacement Parts

The Peugeot 408 in the UK market runs from 2022 onwards as a second-generation model, a distinct new platform compared to the original 408 that was sold in some markets earlier. For wishbone fitment purposes, treat the 2022-onwards 408 as its own generation. Always confirm the exact year of your vehicle with the breaker against your registration to make sure you get the right part.

Within the current 408 generation (2022-onwards), wishbones are generally likely to interchange as the platform and suspension architecture have remained consistent across these early production years. That said, Peugeot can introduce running changes during a model's life, so confirm with the breaker against your exact registration rather than assuming year-to-year compatibility. This is especially worth checking if there has been any mid-cycle update applied to your vehicle.

Engine size can influence suspension and running gear specifications, as heavier or more powerful drivetrains sometimes use uprated components to handle the additional load. For the 408, which is available with petrol and plug-in hybrid powertrains of differing weights, it is worth telling the breaker both your engine size and fuel type alongside your registration. Do not assume a wishbone from a base petrol model will be a direct swap for a PHEV variant without the breaker confirming it.

Trim level on its own does not affect wishbone fitment, as Allure, GT, and GT Premium are primarily distinguished by equipment, interior specification, and cosmetic features rather than suspension geometry. The key variables are the generation, drivetrain, and which side of the car you need (nearside or offside), not the trim badge. You may find the salvaged part looks slightly different cosmetically depending on what was fitted, but the fitment itself is trim-agnostic.

Wishbones are side-specific, so you must tell the breaker whether you need the nearside (NS, passenger side) or offside (OS, driver side) component. Getting this wrong is a common and easily avoided mistake, so double-check before ordering. Your mechanic or a quick look at the worn part will confirm which side you need.

The 408 sits on the EMP2 platform shared with other Peugeot and Stellantis group vehicles, so there is some possibility of cross-model parts compatibility, but this varies by exact variant and specification. Do not assume compatibility just because two cars share a platform name, as suspension geometry and mounting points can differ between models even on the same platform. Ask your breaker to cross-reference the part number against your registration to confirm any cross-model fitment before purchasing.
