Hi my name is John I just bought a 2023 Toyota Tacoma

Hi everyone I just bought a 2023 Toyota Tacoma with 15,000 miles on it just noticed that the rear leaf springs are pretty much flat is this a common issue with their generation tacomas anybody know of a recall that replaces the leaf springs or a fix for this.

 

Pics would help

and welcome to tacomas.
It’s perfectly normal the way they look.
They are extremely soft

 

Welcome.

That's probably normal. The springs on the Tacoma tend to look flat when empty, they will be slightly inverted when worn.

Best way to check is get the truck on the garage floor or other level ground, and run a tape measure from wheel center to bottom of fender, all four corners. The rears on a stock suspension should be 1" higher than the fronts.

 

Normal.

 

Welcome to TW John.

The previous owner of your truck was most likely a stonemason and hauled block and mortar bags for 15K miles...j/k

The OEM rear leaf springs are notorious for being soft/weak, but yours are probably normal, especially considering the low miles on your truck.

Lots of good info in the Suspension sub-section if you're looking for options.

normal. go to a dealership and look under the new ones.

 

Welcome to the TW

 

They come flat off the production line. I checked mine when it was still on the dealership lot.
