Datsun 1200 used the tried and true leaf spring rear suspension, which was common among most cars - including american cars - in the early 1970s.
Contents |
Overview
Sedan and Coupe use the same leaf-pack.
VB110 Wagon came with heavy-duty spring pack.
The B120 1200 Truck came with standard or optional (heavy-duty) rear leaf springs. Standard was a 4-leaf pack, while optional was a 5-leaf pack with a stiffer spring rate.

Make your own
Or, make your own performance bushings per Nissan Competition book:

- I went to a local platics place and bought a piece of
Aftermarket
Or, get stiff aftermarket bushings:
I got in touch with MADDAT.COM and they knew exactly what I was looking for. They had it in stock from Super Pro (yes they're polyurethane), sent them right out, and I received them 8 days later here in Arizona, USA. Tamra from the sales department was easy to work with and very helpful. I would recommend these guys to anyone who needs parts for their 1200. Front spring eye bushing on rear leaf spring
