- Replace when damaged or collapsed
The Coil Spring (Rear) is an essential part of your Nissan's suspension system. Coil springs support your vehicle and absorb shock, helping create a more pleasant ride when you drive over bumps or uneven terrain. The springs also help keep your vehicle at a proper and even height. Your Nissan likely has a coil spring at each corner, giving you four in total. They are typically located by the wheels.
Your Coil Spring (Rear) helps support the weight of your vehicle, which means it's extremely durable and expected to last the lifetime of your car. Nonetheless, damage can still occur. If you live in an area with salted roads, corrosion is a huge concern and can lead to quicker deterioration of the springs. One of the most glaring signs you have an issue with your coil spring is your car sagging in one corner. You might also notice your drives becoming bumpier and shakier than usual.
Unfortunately, you can't repair coil springs. If your Coil Spring (Rear) is damaged, you will need to replace it, and right away. Driving 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 just one of your Coil Spring (Rear)s breaks, it's often suggested you replace them together. This can help make certain your car continues to be balanced and at the correct height.
You can replace your Nissan Coil Spring (Rear) at home with the right knowledge and tools, but it can be difficult. If you don't have extensive automotive experience, you should consider ordering a replacement Coil Spring (Rear) online and bringing your vehicle into your local Nissan service center.
The suspension system is critical to the handling of your Nissan, and a broken Coil Spring (Rear) can compromise your entire vehicle. Shop genuine OEM parts to find the right replacement coil spring for your Nissan.
