Second Hand Nissan NP300 Suspension Leg

Yes, the NP300 Navara (sold in the UK from around 2005 onwards) uses a double-wishbone front suspension setup on most variants, and suspension legs (strut assemblies) are not part of that system — the front suspension uses separate coil springs and shock absorbers rather than a combined MacPherson strut leg. If you are looking for a front shock absorber, front coil spring, or front strut top mount, those are the parts you need to search for instead. Contact a breaker with your registration to make sure you get the correct component for your variant.

Almost certainly yes if you were told you need a 'suspension leg' — the NP300 Navara uses leaf springs at the rear and separate shock absorbers rather than a strut-based rear suspension leg. The parts to ask a breaker for are rear shock absorbers or rear leaf springs depending on which end needs attention. Quote your registration to the breaker so they can confirm the correct spec for your payload or GVW rating, as this can vary between single and double cab variants.

The NP300 Navara in the UK covers two main generations: the D40 (2005–2015) and the D23 (2016 onwards), and these are substantially different vehicles with different suspension geometry, so parts between generations will not be interchangeable. Since the NP300 front suspension uses coil-over-wishbone rather than a suspension leg, you need to specify to the breaker whether you need a front shock absorber, spring, or wishbone, and confirm the generation matches your vehicle. Always quote your registration to avoid any cross-generation mix-ups.

Trim level alone — whether Acenta, Tekna, or another grade — does not change the fundamental suspension layout on the NP300 Navara, so you should not be selecting parts based on trim name. What does matter is whether your vehicle is 4WD or 2WD and your payload or GVW rating, both of which can affect suspension specifications; check the vehicle plate rather than relying on the trim name alone. Confirm the exact part number or specification with the breaker against your registration to be sure.

For the basic suspension components such as shock absorbers and wishbones, engine size is not normally the primary factor on the NP300 Navara, but 4WD versus 2WD configuration and the vehicle's GVW rating are more significant considerations. Some variation in spring or damper rates may exist across different powertrain or payload variants, so it is worth confirming the specification with the breaker using your registration rather than assuming all engines share the same setup. Never assume a part fits based on engine size alone without checking against your specific vehicle.

No — the D40 and D23 are entirely different platforms and their front suspension components, including shock absorbers, springs, and wishbones, will not interchange. The D23 generation brought a significantly redesigned chassis, so always make sure the breaker is supplying parts from the same generation as your vehicle. Confirm fitment against your registration with the breaker, as there may also be variation within each generation depending on payload rating or drivetrain.
