Nissan Micra K12 Rear Axle Uprated Rubber Bush Set

Refresh the rear suspension of your Nissan Micra K12 with this uprated rubber rear axle bush set.

Supplied as a 2-piece set, these bushes replace the ageing original rear axle / torsion beam mounting bushes, helping restore positive axle location and more consistent rear suspension behaviour.

An ideal replacement for worn factory bushes and a worthwhile upgrade for standard, lowered and fast-road K12s.

Complete 2-Piece Set

The kit contains:

• 2x Uprated Rubber Rear Axle Bushes

Providing the bushes required for both sides of the K12 rear axle / torsion beam mounting arrangement.

Replacing both bushes together helps ensure the rear suspension operates with components of the same age and specification.

Why Replace the Rear Axle Bushes?

The K12's rear axle bushes allow the rear suspension assembly to move through its intended range while controlling its position relative to the chassis.

Over time, the original rubber bushes can deteriorate through age, mileage and constant suspension movement.

Worn bushes may become:

• Cracked
• Perished
• Torn
• Excessively Soft
• Separated from their Sleeves
• Excessively Compliant

This can allow unwanted movement of the rear axle under cornering, braking and changes in load.

Depending on the condition of the original components, symptoms can include vague rear suspension behaviour, knocking or generally less consistent handling.

Uprated Rubber Construction

These bushes use an uprated rubber construction, providing firmer suspension location while retaining the compliance of a rubber-bushed suspension system.

This makes them particularly suitable for road and fast-road vehicles where improved suspension control is wanted without moving to a significantly harsher solid or spherical mounting arrangement.

Ideal for:

• Daily Drivers
• Fast-Road K12s
• Lowered Vehicles
• Performance Builds
• Suspension Restorations
• Occasional Track Use

Some increase in suspension feedback may be noticeable compared with soft or heavily worn original bushes.

Particularly Worth Considering on Older K12s

With the K12 platform now well into its second decade, the condition of the original rear axle bushes is worth checking whenever carrying out suspension work.

Replacing deteriorated bushes can help return the rear suspension to a more controlled and predictable condition.

Installation

Rear axle bushes are safety-critical suspension components and professional installation is recommended.

Removal of the original bushes and installation of the replacements may require suitable pressing or specialist bush installation equipment.

The rear axle must also be properly supported during removal and installation.

During installation, inspect:

• Rear Axle / Torsion Beam
• Chassis Mounting Points
• Mounting Hardware
• Brake Hoses & Pipes
• ABS Wiring where applicable
• Rear Dampers
• Rear Springs
• Surrounding Structure

Any significant corrosion, cracking, deformation or damaged mounting points should be addressed before the vehicle is returned to use.

Correct Installation Position

The bushes must be installed in the correct orientation where applicable.

Where the design requires final tightening with the suspension at its normal operating position, the appropriate procedure should be followed to prevent unnecessary preload being introduced into the rubber bush.

Alignment / Geometry Check Recommended

Following major rear suspension work, we recommend checking the vehicle's wheel alignment and rear suspension geometry.

Although the K12 rear axle provides limited factory adjustment, a geometry check can identify problems such as axle misalignment, accident damage or other suspension issues.
