Hi All,
I just had a leaf replaced in my driver side leaf spring pack.
I searched here and didn't find any other mentions of this, however, my local toyota dealer, the spring shop and several other local Toyota owners I know have had the same problem - both Tundras and Tacomas. My mailman has a tacoma and said he goes through a set of springs every year. The spring shop says they do them all the time - mine was one of two that were in for leaf spring replacement that morning, in fact.
Has anyone else here had this happen?
I wonder if it is the dirt roads/salt/or something around here or if it is a more widesperead problem.
I debated getting some new Deaver spring packs, but the price including freight (and the reduction in load capacity) worried me. When the next set breaks I may price a set of custom Alcans or have a set made locally.
Thanks,
Charlie
