Cheap Nissan Primera Coil Spring

The Primera uses coil springs all round across its generations — front MacPherson struts with coil springs and an independent rear suspension also using coil springs — so yes, the part genuinely exists on all variants of this model. There are no drum-and-leaf or torsion-bar setups to worry about on the Primera, making it a straightforward coil spring car throughout its production life.

The P11 (second generation, 1996–2002) and P12 (third generation, 2002–2008) are substantially different cars with different floorpans and suspension geometry, so springs from a P11 are not a straight swap onto a P12. Always confirm the exact generation with your breaker and quote your registration to be safe.

Engine size can influence spring rates because heavier or more powerful variants may have been fitted with stiffer springs to handle the extra weight or performance, so it is worth telling your breaker which engine you have. That said, confirm the exact spring specification against your registration with the breaker rather than assuming all engine variants share identical springs.

Trim level alone does not determine which coil spring fits, so an SX and an SE on the same generation with the same engine should use the same spring in principle. However, Sport or Sport+ models may have been fitted with different spring or damper rates from the factory, so if your car or the donor car is a Sport variant, confirm this with the breaker against both registrations rather than assuming it is identical.

Front and rear coil springs are completely different parts and are not interchangeable, so always specify which end you need when contacting a breaker. For front springs on the Primera, NS (nearside, driver's left) and OS (offside, driver's right) are typically symmetrical, but confirm this with the breaker to be certain, especially on higher-mileage stripped vehicles where springs may have been catalogued individually.

The P10 (first generation, 1990–1996) and P11 (second generation, 1996–2002) are separate platforms, and their suspension components including coil springs are not designed to interchange. Give your breaker your exact registration and generation so they can source the correct spring for your car.
