- 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 smoother ride when you drive over bumps or uneven terrain. The springs also help keep your vehicle at an appropriate and level height. Your Nissan likely has a total of four coil springs, one at each corner. They are usually found near the wheels.
Because your Coil Spring (Rear) helps support the weight of your vehicle, it's very durable and expected to last the lifetime of your car. However, it can still be damaged. If you live in an area with salted roads, corrosion is a big concern and can lead to faster deterioration of your springs. One of the most glaring signs you have an issue with your coil spring is your vehicle sagging in one corner. You may also notice your drives becoming bumpier and shakier 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. Continuing to drive with a broken spring can lead to more issues with your vehicle, like a messed-up alignment, uneven tire tread, a punctured tire, or loss of control. Even if you only have one broken Coil Spring (Rear), it's typically advised you replace them in pairs. This can help ensure your Nissan stays balanced and at the proper height.
Your Nissan Coil Spring (Rear) can be replaced at home with the right 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 the closest Nissan service center.
The suspension system is critical to the operation of your Nissan, and a damaged Coil Spring (Rear) can compromise your entire vehicle. Shop genuine OEM parts to find the right fit for your Nissan.
