Sunny model series B110 has a McPherson strut front suspension. This is lighter, less expensive, and allows more engine compartment room than the previous B10 model's double A-arm front suspension. In the rear, conventional leaf Springs and and a Live axle are fitted. Both are lightweight systems well matched to the size and weight of the Datsun 1200 car. The heavier next-generation Sunny B210 use a medium-duty duty front suspension appropriated from the Datsun 610. This means that most B210 front suspension, front axle and front brake parts do not interchange with B110.

In the Nissan parts catalog, the Brakes and Front Axle (strut, hub) are in different section. The Ball joint assembly includes the Knuckle Arm, however most part suppliers sell the ball joint by itself.
