- 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 Nissan, 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 four coil springs in total, 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. Nonetheless, it can still be damaged. If you live or often drive in an area with salted roads, corrosion is a huge concern and can lead to faster deterioration of your coil springs. One of the most obvious signs you have a coil spring issue is your vehicle sagging in one corner. You may also notice your drives becoming shakier and bumpier than usual.
Unfortunately, coil springs can't be repaired. If your Coil Spring (Rear) fails, you will need to get a new one, and right away. Continuing to drive with a broken spring can lead to more issues with your vehicle, such as loss of control, a punctured tire, uneven tire tread, and a messed-up alignment. Even if you only have one broken Coil Spring (Rear), it's usually suggested you replace them in pairs. This can help ensure your Nissan remains balanced and at the right height.
You can replace your Nissan Coil Spring (Rear) at home with the right tools and knowledge, but it can be a challenging project. One of the simplest ways to replace your springs is by ordering a replacement Coil Spring (Rear) online and taking your vehicle to your local Nissan service center.
The suspension system is critical to your Nissan's operation, and a broken Coil Spring (Rear) can compromise your entire vehicle. Shop genuine OEM parts to find a replacement made for your Nissan.
