Nissan Leaf Coil Spring Replacement Parts

The Nissan Leaf does not use coil springs on its rear suspension — it uses a torsion beam (twist beam) rear axle, and the front suspension uses a MacPherson strut arrangement where the spring is integrated around the strut rather than being a separate coil spring in the traditional sense. If you are looking for a front suspension spring, what you actually need is a strut spring (sometimes listed as a MacPherson strut spring or front suspension spring), not a standalone coil spring. Speak to your breaker using those terms and confirm the part against your registration to make sure you get the correct item.

The Nissan Leaf ran in two main generations — the first generation (Mk1, ZE0/AZE0) covered 2011 to 2017, and the second generation (Mk2, ZE1) launched in 2018. These two generations have different platform dimensions and suspension geometry, so a strut spring from the Mk1 is very unlikely to be a direct fit on the Mk2. Always confirm with the breaker against your exact registration before purchasing across that 2017–2018 generation boundary.

Trim level does not affect which front strut spring was fitted to the Nissan Leaf — the Visia, Acenta, and Tekna share the same basic suspension setup within the same generation. The spring you receive from a breaker may look identical regardless of which trim the donor car was, so trim is not something you need to match. That said, if you have any reason to believe your car has non-standard or uprated suspension, confirm with the breaker that the donor car's specification matches yours.

The higher-capacity 62kWh e-Plus Leaf uses a larger battery pack which adds meaningful weight to the vehicle, and it is possible that the suspension springs were uprated to compensate — this falls into the category of spring rate variants that cannot be confirmed here as fact. Both variants sit within the Mk2 (ZE1) generation that began in 2018, so you must confirm with the breaker whether the donor car's battery size and gross weight match your own before buying a suspension spring.

Within the same generation — Mk1 (2011–2017) or Mk2 (2018 onwards) — strut springs are more likely to be compatible, but mid-generation changes to suspension specification cannot be ruled out and are not something that can be guaranteed here. Provide the breaker with your full registration so they can check the part number on the donor vehicle against your car's specification. Never assume fitment solely on the basis of year range without that check.

On most MacPherson strut setups, including the Nissan Leaf's front suspension, the left and right strut springs are typically the same part, but this is not guaranteed across all variants and model years. It is worth confirming with the breaker whether the spring is handed or universal for your specific vehicle before ordering. Quoting your registration to the breaker remains the safest approach to avoid ending up with the wrong part.
