- Part of suspension system
- Helps support vehicle, keep it a level height, and absorb road shock
- Replace when damaged or collapsed
The Coil Spring (Rear) is a critical component of your Nissan's suspension system. Coil springs support your vehicle and absorb shock, helping create a more stable ride when you drive over bumps or uneven terrain. The springs also help ensure your vehicle stays at an appropriate and level height. Your Nissan likely has four coil springs in total, one at each corner. They are usually found near the wheels.
Your Coil Spring (Rear) helps support the weight of your vehicle, which means it's very durable and expected to last the lifetime of your vehicle. However, it can still be damaged. If you live or often drive in an area with salted roads, corrosion is a big worry and can lead to faster deterioration of your coil springs. One of the most obvious signs you have an issue with your coil spring is your Nissan sagging in one corner. You might also notice that your drives are shakier and bumpier than usual.
Unfortunately, coil springs can't be fixed. If your Coil Spring (Rear) fails, you will need to get a new one, and quickly. Driving with a broken spring can cause more issues with your vehicle, like loss of control, a punctured tire, uneven tire tread, and a messed-up alignment. Even when only one of your Coil Spring (Rear)s breaks, it's usually recommended you replace them together. This can help make sure your car stays balanced and at the proper height.
Your Nissan Coil Spring (Rear) can be replaced at home with the necessary tools and knowledge, but it can be a difficult task. If you don't have extensive automotive experience, you should consider ordering a replacement Coil Spring (Rear) online and stopping by the nearest Nissan service center.
The suspension system is important to your Nissan's operation, and a failing Coil Spring (Rear) can compromise your entire vehicle. Shop OEM-made parts to find a replacement made for your Nissan.
