Nissan Navara NP300 rear leaf spring breakage
Rear spring leaves cracking and breaking on the Nissan Navara NP300 (D23), causing a loud bang and sudden change in ride height. Nissan has acknowledged this fault and offered spring replacement programmes in multiple markets. The fault is more common on vehicles used for heavy loads or on rough roads. Replacement springs with improved metallurgy are available. Always replace springs as an axle pair — replacing one side only causes handling imbalance.
