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 Volkswagen LT ran across two distinct generations: the LT Mk1 from 1975 to 1996, and the LT Mk2 from 1996 to 2006, when the model was discontinued. These two generations are completely different vehicles with different front suspension geometry, so a wishbone from an Mk1 will not fit an Mk2 and vice versa. Always tell the breaker which generation you have, and confirm it against your registration plate.
1995 falls within the Mk1 (1975–1996) and 1997 sits in the Mk2 (1996–2006), so these are different generations and the wishbone is very unlikely to cross that boundary. You should not assume interchangeability just because the model name is the same — the Mk2 was a significantly revised vehicle. Confirm with the breaker against both registrations before ordering.
On the LT, particularly the Mk2, different engine and drivetrain configurations can influence front suspension components, and heavier or more powerful variants may use uprated geometry. It is worth telling the breaker your engine size alongside the generation and GVW rating to make sure the wishbone matches. Never assume a wishbone from a lighter-engined example will suit a higher-spec or heavier-duty variant.
Yes, payload and GVW rating genuinely matter on the LT range because heavier-rated variants were built with stronger running gear to cope with greater loads. The rated payload is shown on the vehicle identification plate inside the door or engine bay, and you should use that figure rather than relying on the model name alone. Give the breaker your exact GVW figure alongside the generation so they can supply the correct wishbone for your weight rating.
Yes, NS (nearside, left) and OS (offside, right) wishbones are handed and not interchangeable, so you must specify the correct side when contacting a breaker. Double-check by looking at the vehicle from the driver's seat: nearside is the passenger side and offside is the driver's side. Always confirm the side clearly when requesting a quote to avoid receiving the wrong part.
Trim level alone does not affect wishbone fitment on the LT; what matters is the generation (Mk1 or Mk2), the GVW or payload rating, and the engine size, not cosmetic or equipment differences between variants. A wishbone from a higher-spec LT of the same generation, payload class, and engine size should be mechanically equivalent to one from a more basic example. Focus your search on matching those mechanical specifications, and confirm with the breaker against your registration rather than the trim name.
