Detailed Description
This leaf spring assembly is engineered for rear suspension applications where the spring must carry vehicle weight and payload while maintaining ride control. For 1999-2004 Nissan Frontier trucks, Dorman 69-255 provides the specified arch, pack thickness, and leaf count needed for the listed configuration. The part number 69-255 is also referenced by Dorman - OE Solutions and cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 172286 for the same application.
Use this rear leaf spring assembly when the original spring has lost arch, sagged under load, or no longer supports the rear of the vehicle correctly. The steel construction and included bushings support a complete spring replacement on the rear axle of the Nissan Frontier.
What It Helps Fix
- Rear-end sag from worn or flattened leaf springs
- Reduced payload support in the rear suspension
- Uneven ride height at the back of the truck
- Excessive suspension movement from fatigued spring packs
- Noisy or worn spring-eye bushing service issues
