Second Hand Peugeot Boxer Wishbone

The Boxer has been built on two main generations in the UK: the first generation ran from 1994 to 2006, and the second generation (the current platform, shared with the Fiat Ducato and Citroën Relay) launched in 2006 and continues to the present day, receiving a significant facelift around 2014. Knowing which generation you're on is the starting point for finding the right wishbone, as the two generations are not interchangeable. Check your V5C or the plate in the door aperture if you're unsure of the exact year.

This question spans the 2014 facelift boundary within the second generation, so it's not straightforward to answer definitively. Both vans sit on the same post-2006 platform, and in many cases suspension geometry was carried over, but whether the specific wishbone casting and mounting points remained identical across that 2014 refresh is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration number. Give the breaker both years and your GVW rating so they can check against their own stock records.

Yes, this matters more than most buyers expect — the Boxer is available in different weight variants (typically 3.0 tonne, 3.3 tonne, and 3.5 tonne GVW classes), and heavier-rated vans can have uprated running gear to handle the extra load. Always check the plate fixed inside your van's door aperture for the actual GVW figure and pass that to the breaker, rather than relying on the model name alone. Assuming all Boxers share the same wishbone because they look identical from outside is one of the most common fitment mistakes on this platform.

Yes, NS (nearside, kerb side) and OS (offside, driver's side) wishbones are handed and are not interchangeable — always specify which side you need when requesting quotes. If you're unsure which side is which, stand behind the van facing forward: NS is left, OS is right. Order the wrong side and the geometry will be wrong, so double-check before the breaker pulls the part.

Trim level does not affect wishbone fitment on the Boxer — the suspension geometry is determined by the generation, GVW rating, and which side of the vehicle you need, not by whether the van is badged as a standard, Professional, or other trim variant. You may find cosmetic differences between trim levels such as colour-coded panels or different alloy wheel styles, but these have no bearing on the wishbone itself. Focus your quote request on the year, GVW, and NS or OS side rather than the trim name.

No — the first generation (1994–2006) and the second generation (2006–present) are fundamentally different platforms, and wishbones from one will not cross to the other. Always tell the breaker which generation your van is, ideally confirmed by registration number, so they can pull a part from the correct platform. Never assume a part will fit just because the van looks similar externally.
