Used Nissan Pulsar Coil Spring

Yes, the Nissan Pulsar (the hatchback sold in the UK from 2014 to 2018) uses coil springs as part of its suspension setup, with a MacPherson strut arrangement at the front and a torsion beam or multi-link arrangement at the rear depending on variant. Coil springs are a genuine used part you can source from a breaker for this model. Make sure you specify front or rear when requesting a quote.

The UK Nissan Pulsar ran as a single generation throughout its 2014–2018 production life without a significant mid-cycle platform change that would alter the spring mounting points, so springs from earlier and later cars are likely to be compatible. However, there is some uncertainty around whether different spring rates were used across the production run or for specific variants, so you should confirm with the breaker that the part they have matches your exact registration. Never assume fitment without that check.

For the Pulsar, engine size is unlikely to be the primary fitment factor for coil springs in the way it can be for brakes, as the model range was relatively narrow and the weight differences between the 1.2 DIG-T and 1.6 DIG-T engines are modest. That said, spring rates and load ratings can vary, and whether any rate differences existed across Pulsar engine variants is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration rather than assume. Giving the breaker your reg is the safest approach.

Trim level alone does not affect coil spring fitment on the Nissan Pulsar — the springs are part of the structural suspension setup, not a cosmetic feature that changes between Visia, Acenta, and Tekna grades. What matters more is the engine variant and whether there are any suspension specification differences for particular build combinations, which you should verify with the breaker. You can expect the used spring from a different trim to look and function identically as long as the other key specs match.

For front coil springs on the Pulsar, NS (nearside, passenger side) and OS (offside, driver side) springs are typically symmetrical and interchangeable, but it is still good practice to mention which corner the spring is for so the breaker can confirm this applies to your specific car. Rear springs are also generally symmetrical on this model, but again, confirming with the breaker is worthwhile. Always give the breaker your full registration to remove any doubt.

The UK Pulsar was based on a Nissan platform shared with other Nissan and Renault models of the era, so there may be some parts-sharing, but you should not assume a spring from a different Nissan nameplate will fit without checking. Breakers experienced with Nissans will be able to cross-reference part numbers against your registration to confirm compatibility. Do not order a spring from a different model on the assumption it will fit.
