Second Hand Nissan Juke Suspension Leg

A suspension leg (also called a MacPherson strut) combines the shock absorber and spring mounting into a single unit and forms the main front suspension component on the Nissan Juke. All Juke variants use MacPherson strut front suspension, so every Juke has front suspension legs regardless of engine, trim or drivetrain. The rear suspension is a torsion beam setup on most Jukes, though some four-wheel-drive variants have a multi-link rear arrangement, so rear suspension legs are only relevant if your car is the AWD version — confirm which you have before ordering a rear unit.

Both years fall within the first-generation Juke, which ran from 2010 to 2019, but Nissan facelifted the Mk1 in 2014 and there can be differences in suspension geometry and spring seat design across that facelift boundary. Within the same pre-facelift (2010–2014) or post-facelift (2014–2019) period fitment is more likely to be consistent, but crossing the 2014 boundary is uncertain enough that you should confirm compatibility with the breaker against your specific registration before buying.

No — the second-generation Juke launched in 2019 is a completely different platform from the first-generation (2010–2019) car, so the suspension components are not interchangeable between generations. Always make sure you and the breaker are both working from the same generation when sourcing a used suspension leg.

Trim level does not affect suspension leg fitment on the Juke — the Acenta, N-Connecta, Tekna and other trim grades share the same suspension components for a given engine and drivetrain combination. The breaker's part may carry different cosmetic wear or surface condition, but the leg itself will be the same specification, so do not reject a part purely on the grounds of trim. Engine size and whether the car is front-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive are the details that actually matter, so make sure these match your own car.

Engine size can influence suspension specification because heavier or more powerful variants may have different spring or damper rates, and the 1.6 DiG-T turbocharged Juke in particular may carry different suspension tuning compared with the naturally aspirated 1.6 petrol. Whether those differences extend to physically different suspension leg assemblies is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as this falls into spring and damper rate variation that we cannot state as fact. Give the breaker your reg and engine code so they can cross-reference the correct part.

Yes, absolutely — front suspension legs are handed, meaning the driver's side (OS, offside, right-hand side on a UK car) and passenger's side (NS, nearside, left-hand side) are different parts and will not swap over. Always specify clearly which side you need when requesting a quote from the breaker, and it is good practice to replace suspension legs in pairs where budget allows to keep handling balanced.
