 Re: B110 Front Suspension
For more information, see the Tech Section article Suspension.

#? doesn't have a name in the Nissan parts catalog, but is welded to the front suspension member (engine x-member). I call it a "engine-mount horn".

#15 is bolt that holds the engine crossmember to the chassis (4 bolts needed, two on each side).

#41 is called by Nissan "front stabilizer torsion bar" but is also known as:
- anti-sway bar (or just sway bar)
- anti-roll bar (or just roll bar)
- stabilizer bar

#14 is the "front suspension member", but more commonly called:
- engine crossmember
- engine x-member

#35 is the "front suspension tension rod", aka:
- strut rod
- caster rod (castor rod) [edit: both spellings are acceptable]
- radius rod

#19 is the "tranverse link", aka:
- lower arm (the only arm in a McPherson strut design)
- lower control arm
Note that it is not an A-arm, because it only has a single 'leg' on the inside. A-arms are a-shaped.

 Re: B110 Front Suspension - Tension Rod Comparison
Tension Rod Comparison (#35 in the picture)
from Japan domestic-market Nissan parts catalogs

B110 54471-H1000 ROD-tension, front suspension (L.H) ALL
B210 54475-H5000 ROD ASS'Y-tension, front suspension (L.H) ALL except Van [1975 catalog]
B210 54475-H7400 ROD ASS'Y-tension, front suspension (L.H) [all a-engine from introduction, 1978-07 catalog] Van (from '75-10) [1975 catalog]
B310 54471-H8500 ROD-TENSION L.H. ALL [from introduction, 1983-11 catalog]
B120 54471-H7400 ROD-TENSION L.H. 7510-7910 [1997-10 catalog]
B120 54471-H8500 ROD-TENSION L.H. 7911- [1997-10 catalog]

Notice that B120 (Sunny Truck) appears to use the B210 rod, then switches to the B310 rod.

I'm not sure why the B210 parts catalogs use the 54475 part number ...

the control arm does effectively form an A arm with the castor rod, and some anti-dive geometry can be incorporated by treating it as such.

btw, 'castor' is the correct spelling.

Yes, when I was a mechanic, we spelled it 'castor' too. Caster is the spelling in the Nissan manual, but according to the dictionary both spellings can be used.
