Fitment questions
Does the Nissan Note actually have a track rod?
Yes, the Nissan Note is a front-wheel-drive car and like all front-wheel-drive vehicles it has a conventional rack-and-pinion steering system with track rods (also called tie rods) connecting the steering rack to the front hubs. There is one track rod on each side of the car, and both sides are available as used parts from dismantlers. If your steering feels loose or you are getting uneven tyre wear, a worn track rod end is a common culprit.
Will a track rod from a first-generation Nissan Note fit a second-generation one?
The Nissan Note ran in two distinct generations in the UK: the first generation (E11) from 2006 to 2013, and the second generation (E12) from 2013 onwards. These two generations use different platforms and different steering geometry, so a track rod from an E11 will not fit an E12 and vice versa. Always give the breaker your registration or generation code to make sure you get the right part.
I have a 2008 Nissan Note – will a track rod from a 2011 or 2012 car fit mine?
Both the 2008 and 2011–2012 cars are first-generation E11 Notes, so they share the same platform and the track rod should be compatible. The E11 received a facelift around 2009 but this did not alter the steering geometry or track rod specification. Confirm with the breaker against your registration to be certain, as minor running changes can occasionally affect part numbers.
Does the engine size affect which track rod I need for a Nissan Note?
On the Nissan Note, engine size does not significantly affect the track rod specification within the same generation, as the steering geometry is not altered between the 1.4 and 1.6 petrol or the 1.5 dCi diesel variants. The key factor is the generation (E11 or E12), not whether your car is a 1.4, 1.6 or diesel. Tell the breaker your generation and registration to confirm the correct part.
Does the trim level matter when buying a used track rod for a Nissan Note – for example, does it differ between Visia, Acenta and Tekna?
Trim level does not affect which track rod you need on the Nissan Note – a Visia, Acenta or Tekna all use the same steering geometry within the same generation. The track rod is a mechanical steering component and is not altered to suit different trim specifications. You may notice cosmetic differences on parts removed from different trim-level cars, but these will not affect fitment.
Is there a nearside and offside track rod on the Nissan Note, and does it matter which one I order?
Yes, the Nissan Note has a separate track rod on each side – nearside (NS, left, passenger side) and offside (OS, right, driver side) – and they are handed, meaning they are not interchangeable with each other. When you contact a breaker, specify which side you need to avoid being sent the wrong one. If you are unsure which side is faulty, a garage can check the steering rack and track rod ends as part of a wheel alignment or steering inspection.
