Tacoma Rear Leaf Spring Hangers

Hi
I am new to this forum and have a question about my 2000 Tacoma. My frame is very rusted and today the leaf spring hanger on the drivers side rear has broke off the frame causing my leaf spring to collapse into the frame. Does anybody know if this is fixable. I can't seem to find any new weld on leaf spring hangers for my truck.

Any ideas would be great.

Thanks

 

Sounds like you have bigger troubles than simply replacing a spring hanger.

@triggerfish76 your frame is probably too dangerous to drive on.

 

if youre not a welder, youre pretty much fucked

 

You got two choices if you aren't a welder, scrap it or find another good frame.

 

You should be able to buy new Spring Hangers from the dealer Yet.

Like was said if you can`t weld or have a good friend that has fixed these frames it gets so very expensive paying someone.

Pictures would be great.

Along with where you live.

To the point you might be ahead to sell the truck now as is .

Your not getting a new frame till all the warranty Frames are replaced !!

I tried to buy one!!

 

My guess is that the spring hangers are OK. The frame is the problem.

 

Here are the pics.

 

Yup. Frame's shot.

 

Now you have 3 choices.
Sell for parts
Scrap it
Find a new frame (Very big bucks)

 

Go to the front hangers for the read leaf springs and start hitting the frame with a hammer. Bet you put a hole in it.

Or you can start by taking pictures of that area.

However, based on what you've posted so far, there's a very good chance that your frame is done.

 

Did you just realize that you had rust? Or how come you didn't try to do some preventative maintenance before it got this bad? Just wondering cause you think you could've sprayed with some sort of undercoating before now

 

Had the truck undercoated years ago.

 

Oh gotcha

 

Sorry to see OP, such a bummer seeing frame rot like this underneath what is otherwise a perfectly good truck..

 

Nothing is ever impossible to fix !!

The question is weather it is cost effective

Any where close to the Allentown Pa area ??

I would be glad to see just how bad it is.

*** One thing people need to know this Cancer comes from the inside out!!

If your not doing the ball peen hammer test at every oil change your really not going to see it.

Mine came out most likely in a few weeks from the first little spot till time to do some fixing .

This is being fully aware of the issue and already having repaired a bunch of these before the warranty recall ever started

 

maybe you can get some info from this guy.

F&ck I really need to learn how to weld.....
