Hey guys, my 2002 QX4 is sagging a bit in the rear. I replaced the shocks which helped the ride but it still sags a bit, especially towing a jet ski. Where's the best place to buy replacement springs? Thanks! -Mike

Thanks! I really think the rear springs are shot. There isn't a lot of tongue weight with this trailer, I can easily pick it up myself and spin it around. The factory springs have 135K on them. I found the replacement Moog's on Amazon, does the Pathfinder use the same springs front and rear as the QX4?

Check out rockauto. They offer replacement ones like Moog and ACdelco.

+1 for Moog rear springs. I bought mine on Amazon for less than $40.00. It fixed the rear sag and stiffened the steering a little bit. Less rear-end sway with high speed maneuvers. The current price looks to be $43.78.

What about the front springs? Nothing comes up for a QX4 but they do for a Pathfinder.

I think we need something a little more than stock in the rear.

I ordered a set of these at the link and I no longer bottom out with rear seat passengers. I used the OME with a 1.75" lift.

The OMEs are a great option if you carry any loads. I’d recommend the shocks and struts, too, but it can be an expensive option. Had an all-OME suspension on my truck for a few years and the ride quality and load handling was great.
