A Part That Fails Quietly, Then Suddenly

A sagging Nissan Pulsar rear spring rarely gives dramatic warning — just a slightly reduced ride height over several months — before eventually failing suddenly at the coil's end with an audible clunk. Keep an eye out for one rear corner sitting lower than the other as an early tell.

Before you buy: drivetrain, trim, and left/right side all affect spring rate and fitment. Always confirm against your VIN before ordering.

OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — rear coil springs (aftermarket) Kilen 59071 / Monroe SP4713

Accuracy note: Covers the Nissan Pulsar (C13 2014-2018) as listed in the UK aftermarket catalogues. Rear coil springs are sold as a pair for the axle and should be replaced as a pair, because a new spring beside a tired one leaves the car sitting unevenly. The right spring depends on the engine and gearbox, the suspension type (standard, sport or heavy-duty) and, on some cars, the body style. The references below are UK aftermarket catalogue listings for this generation, labelled by brand with the fitment details the catalogue gives; carmakers rarely publish the genuine number against these, so match a genuine spring against your VIN if you want a guaranteed fit. genuinely worth knowing: rear springs are sold in left/right pairs matched to a specific rate marking — confirm the marking on your existing spring rather than assuming from trim alone.

Rear coil springs (aftermarket)	Kilen 59071; Monroe SP4713 (260 mm); Sachs 992475; Maxgear 60-1562D (261 mm)
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	None quoted in the catalogue listings — the genuine spring varies by engine, suspension type and body style, so order it against your VIN
Front-wheel drive, standard rate	Genuinely a different spring from the AWD version below — confirm drivetrain and side before ordering
AWD	A genuinely different spring from the front-wheel-drive version, reflecting the different rear axle layout

A single new rear spring on the Nissan Pulsar, next to an old, sagged one, creates an imbalance — uneven ride height and a handling bias — which is why replacing them as a pair is the better approach.

Nissan Pulsar Rear Springs: What It Does

On the Nissan Pulsar, bearing the rear end's weight and cushioning the initial jolt of a bump is the coil spring's role, complementing the shock absorber rather than duplicating its job. When it sags or breaks, ride height drops, headlight aim can be thrown off, and severe cases can mean an MOT failure.
