Broken Leaf Springs

Hey Guy's & Girls of the Tacoma world , I recently broke a leaf spring on my 2007 TRD Sport and even though I purchased the ECP coverage I was told To Bad So Sad by Toyota, not enough customers have complained about this problem so there is no CAMPAIGN as of yet.The dealership was nice enough and offered to fix the problem (recomended both sides be replaced) for $1500 Plus tax or send it out and have it fixed for $700 Plus TAX. I said NO and had the Truck repaired somewhere else for $510 all in, Dealership $0.00

Please if you find out your springs are broken or cracked please call and
COMPLAIN !! Note: This Truck has never even come close to either Bed load or Tow limits, driven like a wagon.
Please look at link below, it's your Safety and your families Safety

Damn..... American made trucks... My FJ was such higher quality...

 

My Truck (car) came with a 3 leafs and a short little helper .
The shop I went to, told me they had repaired enough Tacoma's
lately that they stock parts for this vehicle.

P.S. With the added springs, Now 4 plus helper the truck rides better than new
and rides higher at the rear.

 

3 and the short little helper , is 3 leafs and the overload

That's the 4 leaf ( TSB ) leaf pack

 

I have AAL and bed loaded constantly with at least 800lbs of tools + camper + ladders on top of camper and I tow 1-2times a week at least... I wonder WHEN my leafs fail. Even now with the AAL the leafs sit flat...lol

 

I was told by spring shop that springs break more from being unloaded and hitting that pot hole or speed bump. Whatever you hit. Its the real quick up & down that breaks it? Toyota's factory leaf springs SUCK. Always did always will until they acknowledge they have a PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
