    This morning I started hearing a squeaky noise on the driver rear side of my taco. Look under my truck and I found that the leaf springs were out of place or loose or something. what might i be able to do as of a fix? quick fix?

    Looks like you either have a broken leaf, or a broken center pin. Definitely need to get that fixed.

    Mine broke 2 weeks after I bought my current truck. I bought stock replacements from a place called General Spring. You'll want both sides though. Otherwise it probably won't sit level because I'm sure the other side is pretty saggy too. The rear of mine went up almost 2 inches when I changed the springs. But it sits just like the new trucks on the dealer's lot instead of being level like it was before.

    Thanks bro, appreciate the contact (General Spring) I just ordered mine right now! I got both, plus getting new shocks as well. I took a look at my leaf springs to find that the middle leaf was broken and seperated bout 3 inches. thanks again
