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 Sharan has run across two main generations: the first-generation (Mk1) ran from 1995 to 2010, and the second-generation (Mk2) launched in 2010 and continued from there. Wishbone design changed significantly between these two generations, so a Mk1 part will not cross to a Mk2. Always confirm the generation of the car you're sourcing from matches your own before buying.
These two cars sit in different generations — the Mk1 ended in 2010 and the Mk2 began in 2010 — so a 2008 Mk1 wishbone is very unlikely to fit a 2012 Mk2. The front subframe and suspension geometry changed between generations, making cross-generation fitment a real risk. Confirm with the breaker against your registration before purchasing.
Within the same Mk2 generation, engine size can influence suspension components because heavier or more powerful variants sometimes use uprated parts to handle the additional load. It is worth telling the breaker your engine size as well as your registration so they can check whether the part from their donor car matches your spec. Never assume all engine variants share identical running gear without the breaker confirming it.
Trim level alone does not determine wishbone fitment on the Sharan — SE, SE Nav, and SEL all use the same basic suspension geometry within a given generation. What matters is the generation, the side required (nearside NS or offside OS), and your engine size, not whether the donor car had leather seats or a larger infotainment screen. You may find minor cosmetic differences on ancillary brackets between builds, but the wishbone itself should not vary by trim.
Always specify nearside (NS, the passenger side in a UK right-hand-drive car) or offside (OS, the driver's side) when contacting a breaker, as left and right wishbones are not interchangeable. If you are unsure which side has failed, have the car inspected before ordering so you do not end up with the wrong part. Quoting your registration alongside the side required gives the breaker the best chance of supplying the correct component.
The Mk1 Sharan ran from 1995 to 2010, and while the core platform was shared across that span, there were running production changes over such a long period that early and late Mk1 parts do not always interchange directly. Confirm with the breaker that the specific wishbone from their donor car's build year is compatible with your earlier Mk1 registration, rather than assuming all Mk1 cars are identical.
