Cheap Nissan NP300 Track Rod

Yes, the NP300 Navara is a rear-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive pickup truck with a conventional front steering rack and track rods on both sides, so the part definitely exists on this model. All variants — whether 2WD or 4WD — use a front track rod as part of the steering linkage. A breaker who dismantles NP300s should be able to quote you for the nearside (NS) or offside (OS) track rod, so make sure you specify which side you need when requesting a quote.

The NP300 name covers two distinct generations: the D22, which was sold in the UK up to around 2015, and the D23, which launched in 2016 as a completely new platform. These generations use different front suspension and steering geometry, so a track rod from a D22 will not cross over to a D23. Always quote the generation code or registration plate to the breaker so they can pull the correct part.

For the D23 generation (2016 onwards), the NP300 Navara was sold in the UK predominantly with the 2.3-litre twin-turbodiesel engine, so engine size is not a significant variable for track rod fitment on that generation. On the older D22, a range of diesel and petrol engines was available, but the track rod is a steering component and fitment is primarily determined by the generation and drivetrain layout (2WD or 4WD) rather than engine size. Confirm the drivetrain and generation with the breaker against your registration to be certain.

Trim level does not affect track rod fitment on the NP300 Navara — the steering geometry is the same across Acenta, Tekna, N-Guard, and other D23 variants. The track rod is a mechanical steering component and is not changed between trims, so you do not need to match trim level when sourcing one from a breaker. Just ensure you specify the correct side (NS or OS) and confirm the year and drivetrain layout.

The D23 NP300 Navara received updates during its production run, including a significant refresh around 2019-2021 in various markets, and it is worth being cautious about assuming all D23 track rods are identical across the full production span. The track rod is a core steering part that does not typically change with cosmetic facelifts, but to be safe, confirm the specific year and registration with the breaker before purchasing, as running-gear revisions can occur without a model-name change. A reputable breaker will be able to check the part against your VIN.

The 2WD and 4WD variants of the NP300 Navara can have differences in the front axle and steering setup, so it is important to tell the breaker whether your vehicle is 2WD or 4WD when requesting a track rod. Do not assume a part pulled from a 2WD donor will drop straight onto a 4WD vehicle or vice versa. Quoting your registration plate to the breaker is the most reliable way to ensure the correct part is identified.
