Nissan Navara: Leaf springs vs coils, and which utes have which springs?
Download the PODCAST for this report
QUESTION
Hi John,
You seem to have found a Nissan Navara with coil springs and not being an auto expert, I have not been about to find one.
My old Nissan ST (2016) had leaf springs, my new RX (2016) also has leaf springs. A friend’s new Nissan Navara 2022 model has leaf springs, and when I look at Carsales.com.au, on the ‘chassis’ dealers are trying to sell today - they’re leaf springs.
So which has the coil exactly? What do you think of the leaf spring version for towing?
Thanks,
Harken
