- Part of suspension system
- Helps support vehicle, keep it a level height, and absorb road shock
- Replace when damaged or collapsed
The Coil Spring (Front) is a critical component of your Nissan's suspension system. Coil springs support your vehicle and absorb shock, helping create a smoother ride when you drive over bumps or uneven roads. The springs also help ensure your vehicle stays at an appropriate and level height. Your Nissan likely has a total of four coil springs, one at each corner. They are typically positioned by the wheels.
Your Coil Spring (Front) helps support the weight of your vehicle, which means it's very durable and expected to last the lifetime of your vehicle. But it can still be damaged. If you live 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 apparent signs you have a coil spring problem 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 (Front) breaks, you will need to get a new one, and fast. Driving with a broken spring can cause more vehicle issues, like loss of control, a punctured tire, uneven tire tread, and a messed-up alignment. Even if you only have one broken Coil Spring (Front), it's usually suggested you replace them in pairs. This can help ensure your car continues to be balanced and at the right height.
Your Nissan Coil Spring (Front) can be replaced at home with the right tools and knowledge, but it can be a difficult task. One of the best ways to replace your springs is by purchasing a replacement Coil Spring (Front) online and bringing your vehicle into your local Nissan service center.
The suspension system is important to the handling of your Nissan, and a failing Coil Spring (Front) can put your entire vehicle in jeopardy. Shop OEM parts to find the right fit for your Nissan.
