#707913June 25, 1999
SUSPENSION:REAR:SPRINGS:LEAF SPRING ASSEMBLY
THE CENTER LEAF ON BOTH SPRINGS HAS FAILED. TOYOTA KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM, BUT TOLD ME TOO MANY MILES ON THE VEHICLE. ALTHOUGH THEY DID REPLACE HEADGASKET FOR A RECALL AT 135K. I WENT TO AN AUTO/TRUCK SPRING SHOP AND WHEN I WENT INSIDE, THE GENTLEMAN THERE SAID "BROKEN REAR SPRINGS?" BEFORE I SAID ANYTHING. THEY KEEP THEM IN STOCK, REPLACING SO MANY. I"VE BEEN LUCKY, THE PART THAT BROKE ISN'T A MOUNTING POINT. SO THE SUSPENSION HAD CONTINUED TO HOLD UP THE TUCK. IT'S GOING TO BE EXPENSIVE FOR ME TO REPAIR, $800+ BETWEEN THE SPRINGS, SHOCKS(LEAF SLID OVER AND ATE THE SHOCK) AND THE EXHAUST PIPE(SLID OVER AND ATE THAT.) I'VE RESIGNED THAT I'VE GOT TO DO IT, BUT MAYBE TOYOTA HAS TO DO SOME BETTER RESEARCH ON THEIR COMPONENTS. THANKS. *AK
