Second Hand Nissan Juke Wishbone

The first-generation Juke ran from 2010 to 2019, with a facelift arriving in 2014 that updated the front end and interior. Wishbones within the pre-facelift (2010–2014) or post-facelift (2014–2019) period generally share the same underpinnings, but whether a wishbone crosses the 2014 facelift boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against your exact registration, as running gear can vary across a refresh. Always specify NS (nearside/left) or OS (offside/right) when requesting a quote.

These two cars sit either side of the 2014 facelift, so while the Juke's basic platform continued across that update, you should not assume the wishbone is a straight swap without checking. Ask the breaker to verify the part against your registration number, as geometry and mounting points can differ across a facelift revision. Specifying which side you need — NS or OS — when you contact the breaker will also save time.

Engine choice can influence suspension and braking components because heavier or more powerful variants sometimes use uprated running gear, so a 1.6 DIG-T turbocharged Juke may not share identical components with a 1.2 DiG-T or 1.5 dCi. When requesting a quote from a breaker, give them your full registration so they can match the part to your exact vehicle rather than just the model name. This is the safest way to avoid ending up with a wishbone that looks right but does not fit correctly.

Trim level alone — whether your Juke is an Acenta, N-Connecta, Tekna or Bose edition — does not determine which wishbone you need, as these grades reflect equipment and interior specification rather than suspension geometry. The key factors are generation, engine size and which side (NS or OS) you need replaced. Do be aware that breakers may pull parts from a variety of trim levels, so cosmetic differences on surrounding components are possible, but the wishbone itself should not be affected by trim.

The Juke was offered in both front-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive variants, and the rear suspension arrangement differs between the two drivetrains, which can affect component compatibility. For the front wishbone the difference is less clear-cut, so you should confirm with the breaker whether the part from a 4WD donor car is suitable for your 2WD vehicle or vice versa. Providing your registration to the breaker is the most reliable way to get the right match.

Always specify nearside (NS) for the left-hand side of the car as you sit in the driver's seat, or offside (OS) for the right-hand side — these are the standard UK terms breakers use and will prevent you receiving the wrong part. Wishbones are handed components and are not interchangeable between sides. Double-check by looking at your vehicle or quoting the part number from your old wishbone if it is still readable.
