Another Taco with flat leaf springs

Taking my truck into the the dealership tomorrow for them to take a look at it. Service tech already confirmed that its not good.

Any reason why they would go flat after less than a year?

 

They replaced mine as well at about the 1 yr. mark, same time
they replaced both warped drums.

 

6 months after buying my 15 the were ding the reverse C. Been a common thing since 2005. I am glad I lifted it with the ICON 3 Leaf Progressive AAL as they don't do the revers C now

 

yes, since 2005, toyota has still not learned to put better leaf springs on their tacoma.

 

Geez, and they can seem to spend a couple hundred bucks to put better ones on before selling them? Why bother replacing them with the same thing when they go bad under warranty? Doesnt seem cost effective for Toyota.

 

Because people still buy these things hand over fist Brother.

 

Fair enuff.

 

Are you lifted or stock Brother?

 

Stock, Im the kind of person that waits until the warranty is up before I start replacing things with better things.

 

Gotcha sir

 

pressure treated 2x4 ...jk of course.

 

Mine are also flat, really they are convex now instead of concave.

However I still have 22" from the center of the wheel to the top of the fender well opening. It only settled maybe half a inch since it was new.

 

How do you know if leaf springs go flat? Does the rear end bounce around?

 

The springs are totally flat visually

 

Do you have any photos? I just looked at mine and my trucks 6 months old with 5k miles. They looks pretty horizontal to me.

 

cheapest and best fix i found was a procomp AAL $300 for part and instillation my leafs were repaced 18k apart

 

Mine are as well. Of course I have hauled and towed stuff, but never over done it. I thought this was normal? Hmm, maybe have the dealer look at them on the next service.

 

Yes. once settled its was 1.35" but im goow with that as i have +2" front.
