<em>Nissan Qashqai J10</em> spare parts catalog with photos: how to find the right part by article number

First generation Nissan Qashqai (factory index J10) was produced from 2007 to 2013 and became a real bestseller on the Russian market. Despite its reliability, even this crossover’s consumables wear out over time, suspension components break, or electronics fail. The main problem of the owners is how to quickly find and buy the right spare part, without running into a fake or incompatible analogue.

In this article we have collected complete catalog of spare parts for Qashqai J10 with photographs, original articles and proven analogues. You will learn where to look for parts by VIN code, how to distinguish a counterfeit from an original, and which brands offer the best price-quality ratio. Particular attention was paid to the “weak points” of the model: stabilizer struts, wheel bearings and electrical equipment.

Why is it important to know the spare part number for Nissan Qashqai J10

Without an exact part number, you risk buying a part that:

• 🔧 Will not fit the mountings (for example, a suspension arm from Qashqai J11 visually similar, but has different seats).
• 🔋 Has a different electrical resistance (relevant for sensors and relays).
• 🛑 Will quickly fail due to low quality materials (especially dangerous for brake pads and bearings).

Original articles Nissan start with prefixes: 265xx (for European assembly), 390xx (for Japanese versions), 545xx (for the American market).

For example, 265A0-4M500 - this is the front brake caliper for Qashqai J10 with engine MR20DE.

⚠️ Attention: Part numbers for diesel versions (K9K, M9R) and gasoline (MR20DE, HR16DE) are often different! Always specify engine type when ordering.

Where to look for the article? 1. On the part itself (usually embossed or lasered). 2. In the electronic catalog Nissan (access by VIN). 3. On stickers under the hood or in the glove compartment (for some units). 4. In the service book (if the car was serviced by an authorized dealer).

Top 5 “weak points” Qashqai J10: what parts break down most often?

Analysis of owner forums and service station data shows that Qashqai J10 There are typical “diseases” that require regular replacement of parts. Here top five by breakdown frequency:

№	Unit/part	Average mileage before replacement	Original article	Recommended analogue
1	Stabilizer links (front)	40–60 thousand km	54500-4M000	Febi 22721, Lemforder 28340 01
2	Wheel bearing (front)	80–120 thousand km	40520-4M000	SKF VKBA 3643, NTN 4T-40520

Stands apart electronics: y Qashqai J10 Climate control units often glitch (27860-4M000), the fuses in the mounting block blow out and the parking sensors fail. When purchasing electronics be sure to check compatibility by VIN - even blocks that look identical may have different software.

Why do stabilizer links break so often?

On Qashqai J10 the racks have a design flaw: the rubber bushings quickly “tan” due to the poor quality of the material, and the articulated joints are not designed for Russian roads. Corrosion makes the situation worse - the metal parts of the racks rust from the inside, even if they look normal from the outside. We recommend changing the racks in pairs and using analogues with reinforced anthers (for example, Lemforder).

Original spare parts Nissan guarantee 100% compatibility, but their price is often inflated by 30–50%. Analogues from trusted brands can be no worse, and sometimes even better (for example, bearings SKF or brake pads Ferodo). Here brand rating by category:

Suspension and steering: Lemforder, Febi, TRW - the best analogues for levers, stabilizer struts and steering rods. Monroe — optimal shock absorbers for Russian roads.

Brake system: ATE, Brembo — pads and discs with minimal wear. TRW — reliable brake cylinders and calipers.

Engine and transmission: Mahle, KS - piston rings and seals. LUK — clutch for manual transmission. ZF — automatic transmission parts (for example, solenoids 32545-31X0A).

Electrical: Bosch, Valeo — sensors and generators. Hella — lighting devices (headlights, PTF). Mitsuba - starters and cooling fans.

Where not worth saving:

✅ Wheel bearings (cheap analogues fall apart after 20 thousand km).

✅ Timing belt (only original or Gates/Contitech).

✅ Fuel pump (counterfeits lead to engine damage).
