Used track rods 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:
Yes, the Kubistar is a front-wheel-drive van and steers through a conventional rack-and-pinion setup, so it does have track rods (also called tie rods) connecting the steering rack to the front hubs. Both a nearside (NS) and an offside (OS) track rod are fitted, so make sure you tell the breaker which side you need when requesting a quote.
The Nissan Kubistar was based on the Renault Kangoo and ran through two distinct generations in the UK: the first generation (X76) covered roughly 2003 to 2008, and the second generation (X61, also sold as the Kangoo-based refresh) from around 2008 onwards. Track rod geometry can differ between these generations, so a part from the first generation is not guaranteed to fit the second, and you should confirm with the breaker using your registration number before buying.
On most Kubistars the steering geometry is consistent across the petrol and diesel engine options within the same generation, since the front suspension layout does not fundamentally change with engine choice. That said, heavier diesel variants can sometimes carry subtly different steering components to cope with additional weight, so it is worth confirming with the breaker against your registration to be safe.
The Kubistar was available with different payload ratings, and on vans the payload or GVW specification can influence suspension and steering component sizing. Check the plate in your vehicle's door shut or engine bay for the exact GVW figure and pass that to the breaker when requesting a quote, rather than relying on the model name alone.
Trim level does not affect track rod fitment on the Kubistar – the steering components are determined by the generation, engine, and payload rating rather than any cosmetic or equipment specification. You may find minor surface finish differences on used parts from different trim grades, but these have no bearing on function or compatibility.
Yes, it matters – while some vehicles use identical left and right track rods, you should always specify nearside (NS, passenger side) or offside (OS, driver side) when asking a breaker for a quote, as the lengths or end fittings can differ. Fitting the wrong side can affect your steering geometry and result in uneven tyre wear or pulling, so double-check the part against your old one before installation.
