Safety Recall E02, 2005 - 2011 leaf springs

Oh LOL, I'm an idiot, I see his post up this page. I was hoping toyota was putting beefier springs in...

 

WARNING WARNING

People please check your u bolts if the dealer replaced your leaf pack!!!! AS HAS BEEN STATED IN AN EARLIER POST

Mine were very very loose, LITERALLY HAD TO TURN EACH NUT THREE TO FOUR REVOLUTIONS.

 

Here was mine...

 

Lol, and people wonder why I always fix my own vehicles.... Looks like I'll be bringing my torque wrench when I get the recall.

 

Same here. Tried to get them to just give me the leafs... That didn't work out too well.

 

Well you're obviously incompetent, you would have installed it wrong and could have endangered your life and the lives of those around you... Oh wait...

 

I would raise hell if they did that on my truck...that is beyond unacceptable.

 

I go in tomorrow to get my leafs replaced. They also just replaced my clock spring 2 weeks ago so far I'm satisfied with their service. Lipton Toyota in Oakland Park, Florida

 

One of the reasons I checked my u bolts after I saw your pictures.

 

I lost an inch. But ride is good. Didn't sag when I hauled 2 pieces of a sectional, at all.

 

Dang an inch going from the 2+1 to 3+1 is a big deal. I will likely have to purchase a different AAL to make up for that. Thanks for the info.

 

Yeah. It seems people are getting different results with these springs. I expected a little height. At least until they settled. But the day of they measured exactly the same as old. So I expected it to drop a little.

 

Just had my leafs replaced took about 5hrs

 

Something Just occurred to me...when I get mine done, since the entire left front suspension is new, I will have new components on 3 of the 4 corners of the truck...

 

I'm having mine done in the near future. So the truck's bed raises up slightly when they replace those new leaf springs? how much is slightly you talking about?

 

My reg cab is 3/4" higher in back after swapping to 2015 oem 6 clip 4 leaf pack. AC/DC might be slightly less. Not doing recall since mine has basically been done already. Will be going for reimbursement for what I spent. It's much less than Toyota woulda spent on parts/labor doing the recall and putting same 4 leaf packs on as I have now so I'm expecting no shit about it.

 

Since you have a DC. It probably won't sit higher. Mine sat exactly the same height as my old 2+1 springs, when I brought it home. They have since settled and I'm about an inch lower than I used to be.

 

I am about 2" lower in the rear on my 08 DCSB. These replaced my TSB leafs from a few years ago. Not thrilled.

 

Maybe not 2 inches lower, but definitely not any higher than my worn and busted 2+1's. I really don't understand WTF toyota is doing with these springs, how are brand new ones not a bit higher than beat worn ones?
