    About a year ago I bought my brother in laws 09 double cab tacoma. I just noticed my drivers side leaf spring is broke. I called my local dealer and they said it's under recall and also my frame might possibly need replacement .i live in Michigan so I'm brining it to them in a couple weeks. I'm wondering how they determine if my frame needs replacement I looked at it and it is very rusty has big rust flakes that I can pick off. Thanks in advance and I appreciate all advice. I love my Tacoma it tows my boat wonderfully.

    Welcome to the forum.
    By the sounds of it you’ll be a candidate for a new frame.

    Welcome! Take a hammer and beat on the frame near the rear set of catalytic converters (the ones on the y-pipe). If it perforates when you do this, theyll replace the frame

    I just checked that area. It looks ok to me in that area but other areas are pretty rusty.

    So I dropped the truck off. Yesterday they called me and said my frame looks good and it just needs the spray. Today they called me back and said when replacing the leaf springs the found some bad spots and now I'm getting a new frame.
