Nissan NP300 Axle Replacement Parts

The NP300 Navara name covers two distinct generations in the UK: the D22-based pickup built from around 2001 to 2015, and the D23 generation launched from 2015 onwards. A 2010 axle is D22 and a 2015 model is likely D23, meaning these are different platforms and the axle will not simply swap across that boundary — confirm the exact generation against your registration with the breaker before ordering.

Yes, engine size can influence axle specification on the NP300 Navara because larger or higher-torque engines are often paired with heavier-duty axle assemblies to handle the increased load and braking demands. When contacting a breaker, give them your exact engine size alongside your registration so they can match the correct rated unit rather than just the model name.

Trim level alone — Visia, Acenta, Tekna, or otherwise — does not determine axle fitment on the NP300 Navara, since running gear is determined by generation, drivetrain, and engine rather than the equipment pack. You may find minor cosmetic differences on surrounding components, but the axle itself should match across trims within the same generation and engine variant — always confirm with the breaker against your registration to be sure.

The D22 NP300 Navara ran from around 2001 to 2015 and received updates over that period, but we would not want to state specific facelift year boundaries as established fact for this model without certainty. Because mid-generation revisions can include brake or axle upgrades, you should confirm with the breaker whether the donor vehicle year and spec crosses any such update point relative to your own vehicle.

For a rear live axle the side distinction is less relevant as it is a single assembly, but if you are sourcing a front axle, driveshaft, or halfshaft on an independent front suspension setup, the nearside (NS) and offside (OS) parts are handed and will not interchange. Always specify which side you need when contacting the breaker, and confirm the front suspension layout of your exact variant.

On commercial pickup variants the GVW and payload rating can influence the axle specification, as heavier-rated vehicles are sometimes built with uprated rear axle assemblies. Check the plate on your vehicle for the exact GVW figure and pass that to the breaker alongside your registration, rather than relying on the model name alone, to ensure you get a correctly rated unit.
