Unfortunately, the leaf springs on Toyota Tacoma's tend to ware out, crack, and break. Whether it is because of the factory spring construction or the amount of use the trucks get by their active owners, the broken springs need to be replaced. If your tacoma leaf spring needs new suspension parts you're in the right place. We offer right and left springs separately, as they are sometimes different in tacoma's to compensate for driver-side only traveling as well as fuel tank weight. However, the difference is normally only in the arch and is negligible in certain cases where springs are superseded and will fit with parts like this tacoma shackle.
Tacoma has been around for so long it often becomes necessary to replace worn suspension parts as part of a routine maintenance. Keeping your suspension working properly is crucial to not only having a smooth ride as you go over bumps and imperfections in the road, but it is also important to maintain the load capacity of your truck and prevent damage to the chassis.
Finding the Right Product is a Matter of Concern
Since the Tacoma has been around for so long, it’s no surprise that the model design has changed from time to time, including the fit of the suspension system on the truck. In fact, the leaf springs alone have changed five times for the Toyota Tacoma, so it’s important that you get the right leaf springs for your particular model. The five model year groupings are:
1. 1995-1997
2. 1998-2000
3. 2001-2004
4. 2005-2011
5. 2012-2014
2. 1998-2000
3. 2001-2004
4. 2005-2011
5. 2012-2014
On top of the model year, the specific model of truck will also dictate what leaf springs you need. For instance, in the 1995 – 1997 models, there are four types of rear wheel leaf springs available: the factory default 4 X 4 with 4 leaves, heavy-duty 4 X 4 with 4 leaves, the factory default 4 X 4 with 3 leaves, and the 2-wheel drive model with 3 leaves. So, as you can see knowing the model of your Toyota Tacoma is an important factor when choosing proper suspension parts.
