Broken king coilover spring

This!
Despite what some may believe, some aftermarket parts need more maintenance and are not in every way,,,, better

 

This ^

 

Where along the coil did the fracture occur? Could be mfg error. If the last coil wasn't closed and ground parallel, it can put excessive bending stresses on the last coil and cause a crack to form.

 

They're king in the California desert where corrosion doesn't exist... though corrosion may not have been the root cause here, despite what everyone else says.

 

They cracked right at the bottom of the last coil

 

These are better pictures after I pulled them off the truck. I see some powder coat that's come off but no other signs of corrosion besides some surface rust

 

This is manufacturing error, last coil not ground flat or parallel and put in bending. Verify the replacement coil ends are flat and parallel before you install it, whereever you source the coil (King, Eibach, Icon...)

 

I think I'm just going to send them to Filthy Motorsports to have them completely rebuilt

 

To many people get kings so I’ll go with something different

 

Crevice crack corrosion

 

The shop should examine the replacement springs to ensure the problem doesn't repeat, though it's unlikely as 3 years (and many mfg batches) have passed since you bought yours.

 

Same could be said of your Tacoma, esp. in Hawaii. Where's your Ranger Ecoboost?

 

You’re right. Lol Toyota sells more Tacoma’s here then anywhere else in the country

 

NO they do not win, just found this on my 2017.. now deciding what to buy to replace them

 

Dang! Where do you live man, in a bucket of salt?

 

LOL... northeast PA. and i was it quite alot in the winter..

 

Maybe they do...
2020 they changed to an open end spring.
