On  my 2012 Pro 4X the left side leaf spring clamp is gone, is there a bolt on 
 replacement clamp available and is it difficult to do? Would it be better to 
 replace the entire leaf spring.
 
 Thanks, Mick

 Mick,
 
 I would ask the Service Manager at Nissan what is the 
 best way to go about this.
 
 Do you suppose that Your leaf spring clamp broke?
 
 Which ever way you decide to go,, be sure to check on 
 EBay by part #.  I've found OE Nissan Part's on EBay 
 for 1/2 the price that they sell the same part for at 
 a Dealership.  Beelineparts.com also sells Geniune 
 Nissan parts with free shipping.
 
 Let us know how it goes,

Might better go to a spring shop and have them make one. 
 Nissan only supplies the complete spring assy.

Well, the truck has 99K+ miles on it so I treated it to a complete new leaf 
 spring. It's pothole season here and I think that's what did it. It is the first 
 repair on the truck, can't complain.

 Mick,
 
 That Spring Probly took a real wollop unless the Nut's 
 just got loose.
 
 I've read many post's where owner's are getting over 
 300K mile's, so I don't see anything wrong with 
 getting a New leaf Spring.
