- Part of suspension system
- Helps support vehicle, keep it a level height, and absorb road shock
- Replace when damaged or collapsed
Your Nissan Coil Spring (Rear) is an essential part of the suspension system. Coil springs absorb shock and support your vehicle, helping create a more stable ride when you drive over bumps or rough roads. The springs also help keep your vehicle at a proper and even height. Your Nissan likely has a total of four coil springs, one at each corner. They are usually found near the wheels.
Since your Coil Spring (Rear) helps support your vehicle's weight, it's extremely tough and expected to last the lifetime of your vehicle. However, it can still be damaged. If you live somewhere with salted roads, corrosion is a big worry and can lead to faster deterioration of the 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 bumpier and shakier than usual.
Unfortunately, coil springs can't be repaired. If your Coil Spring (Rear) breaks, it will need to be replaced, and fast. Continuing to drive with a broken spring can cause other vehicle issues, such as a messed-up alignment, uneven tire tread, a punctured tire, or loss of control. Even if just one of your Coil Spring (Rear)s breaks, it's typically recommended you replace them in pairs. This can help make certain your vehicle remains balanced and at the right height.
Your Nissan Coil Spring (Rear) can be replaced at home with the necessary tools and knowledge, but it can be a difficult task. One of the simplest ways to replace your springs is by ordering a new Coil Spring (Rear) online and bringing your vehicle into your local Nissan service center.
The suspension system is essential to your Nissan's operation, and a damaged Coil Spring (Rear) can put your entire vehicle in jeopardy. Shop OEM-made parts to find a replacement made for your Nissan.
