Used Nissan Qashqai Coil Spring

All Nissan Qashqai variants use coil springs as part of their suspension setup — it is not limited to a particular engine or drivetrain, so whether you have a petrol, diesel, front-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive model, your Qashqai will have coil springs front and rear. This makes it a straightforward part to source from a breaker, though you still need to match the correct generation to ensure the right fit.

These two cars both fall within the second-generation Qashqai (J11), which ran from 2014 onwards, but there was a facelift in 2017 that introduced some changes to the car. Whether the spring dimensions and rates carried over unchanged across that 2017 facelift boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying, as subtle running-gear revisions can occur at facelifts without being widely publicised.

The J10 ran from 2007 to 2013 and the J11 from 2014 onwards, and these are entirely different platform generations, so the coil springs are not interchangeable between them. Always tell your breaker which generation you have — and give them your registration — so they can pull the right part.

Trim level alone does not determine which coil spring you need on the Qashqai — Acenta, N-Connecta, Tekna and similar trims are primarily distinguished by interior and technology features rather than suspension hardware. The factors that matter more are the generation, and potentially the engine size or whether the car is two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, so focus on matching those details rather than the trim badge.

It can matter, because the four-wheel-drive variants carry additional drivetrain components at the rear which can affect rear suspension loading and spring specification. When contacting a breaker, always confirm whether your car is front-wheel drive or four-wheel drive alongside the year and registration, so they can check the correct part for your exact vehicle.

Spring rate variants and any sport or lowered suspension specifications are something you should confirm directly with the breaker against your registration, as these differences are not always straightforward to verify from model details alone. A good breaker will be able to check the original specification of the donor car and advise whether it matches what your vehicle requires.
