> Is your Hilux or 4Runner feeling a bit saggy? Coil springs are the unsung heroes of your suspension, soaking up the bumps and keeping you level. But they don't last forever, especially if you're hitting those tough conditions regularly. Over time, they can sag, crack, or just plain wear out, leaving you with a rough ride and maybe even a failed WOF.
Spotting the Warning Signs
• Your Hilux is sitting low, especially when loaded up for a cafe lunch.
• One side is lower than the other – a dead giveaway.
• The ride's bumpier than a gravel road.
• You can see cracks or rust on the springs themselves.
• You're losing ground clearance – not ideal for off-roading.
Will it pass WOF?
A busted or worn-out coil spring is a surefire way to fail your WOF. They need to be in good nick to keep your ride height legal and your handling safe.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 7/10
Estimated Time: 4-6 hours (for a pair)
Tools Required: Jack, jack stands, spring compressors, socket set, wrench set, penetrating oil.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you dive in, grab these essentials to make the job safer and easier:
• Safety First! Never, ever get under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Use proper Jack Stands. Those Hilux's are heavy.
• Makes life much easier.
• Hand Protection: Keep your mitts clean and safe with a pair of Nitrile Gloves. Suspension work can be grimy.
• Eye Protection: Flying debris is no fun. Wear Safety Glasses to protect those peepers.
Expert Recommendation
Worn coil springs can make your Hilux or 4Runner handle like a boat, especially when towing or hitting the trails. Replacing them brings back that factory ride height, improves stability, and makes driving a whole lot more comfortable.
