have been hunting high and low
i hope you can help.
I’ve got and imported 95 Toyota Hiace GL 4X4 camper in need of new rear leaf springs, one side has gone saggy. the body type LH119
The OE part number I got from Toyota doesn’t match the springs that are on the van. and Toyota stopped supplying them anyway
The springs seem to be from an older model
I wouldn't be surprised if they had swapped the springs at the factory, perhaps to alter the ride for a camper.
The bolt centre to centre measurement is approx. 1200 mm (straight across / loaded). the rear fixing is a swing shackle,
There are 5 leaves in the pack.
the top 3 are 9mm
the bottom 2 are 13mm
the width of the springs is 60mm or 62 mm (they are quite corroded ) the two thicker springs are forged to splay a but towards the end.
I don’t think it is critical which spring set we use as long is it fits eye to eye, It could even take a wider spring if needs be. as long as its strong enough for a Max load of 2500 kg.
Can you help?
any pointers?
Could I use springs off a Hilux or something?
Cheers
