Rear axle leak - 2006 Nissan Titan cc 4wd with 39000. Driver side rear axle seal starting leaking. Concern due to the proximity to brake/brake caliper.

I was driving the vehicle when I heard a loud noise. I thought I may have hit, or run over something, but saw nothing in or along the road. I didn't notice anything at first, and then my wife noticed a raised area of the truck bed on the driver side near the tailgate. We looked under the truck and saw that the spring shackle was broken, and the end of the spring was lodged up against the underside of the bed. I tow a 6500lb. Camper with this truck, but was not in tow at the time of the incident.

I have a 2006 Nissan Titan with 31,000 miles on it. The rear bracket that holds the passenger side leaf spring snapped at the bend and sent the entire leaf spring assembly through the floor of my pickup bed. I have contacted Nissan and will be dropping the truck off tomorrow. I have seen numerous complaints of this on the internet. It seems that the original shackle wasn't strong enough for normal driving. Hopefully they will replace the shackle and truck bed.

The rear passenger side shackle that holds the spring to the frame cracked off and sent the rear spring up through the bed of the pickup truck.

2006 Nissan Titan is leaking axel fluid at 45,000 miles. I'm told by other Titan owners that they had to replace the rear axel. If not, the truck can become unstable while driving. Repair shop (who does not do this type of work) states that the rear axel needs to be replaced.

The spring shackles on my 2006 Nissan Titan are defective. One broke at around 25,000 miles and the second one at around 40,000 miles. The springs shot up into the bed of my truck on both occasions denting the bed and causing me to almost lose control. I had my truck towed to a Nissan dealership the first time and had the shackle replaced and I asked if this was a common problem and inquired if I should have the other side replaced they said no it wasn't common the spring shackles on this vehicle are a serious safety risk, if they had broke while I was driving on the highway at a higher speed I would have been in a serious accident.

Right rear axle seal blew out and leaked differential fluid. Differential fluid leaking on rear brake rotors which could cause brake failure, which was a major safety concern to me. At time of failure at 8000 miles no suspension modifications had been done to vehicle. Also, the rear differential oil will slowly leak and cause the rear differential to lose fluid and fail. Nissan replaced spacer axle (43070-7s200), bearing (40210-7s210), and seal (43252-7s200). As this seemed to be a very common problem with the Nissan Titan, Nissan should address this issue and offer a permanent fix so would not be faced with the safety issue in the future.
