> Coil springs are the backbone of your Land Cruiser's suspension, soaking up the bumps and keeping everything level. After years of tough conditions, especially off-road or hauling heavy loads (like that epic cafe lunch run), they can get tired, rusty, or even give way completely.
Signs Your Springs Have Had It
• Your Land Cruiser's looking a bit droopy
• The ride's rougher than a gravel road
• Your tyres are wearing out unevenly
• You're hearing some dodgy clunks and squeaks from down below
WOF Worthy?
Yep, as long as they're not too rusty, cracked, or causing the vehicle to handle like a shopping trolley. Sagging springs can also muck up your headlight alignment, which is a WOF fail.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 7/10
Estimated Time: 4-6 hours
Tools Required: Jack and stands, spring compressors, socket set, wrench set, penetrating oil.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you get stuck in, grab these essentials to make the job safer and easier. Trust me, you'll thank me later!
• Safety First: Always wear Safety Glasses to protect your eyes from flying debris and spring shrapnel. Never get under a car supported only by a jack – use proper jack stands!
• It'll save you a heap of grief.
• Hand Protection: Keep your mitts clean and protected with a pair of Nitrile Gloves. Suspension work can get real messy, real fast.

Fitment Notes
Make sure you pick the right coil spring for your specific Land Cruiser model and year. Spring rates and dimensions can vary, so double-check! It's also a good idea to replace coil springs in pairs to keep your suspension balanced.

🧰 What Else You'll Need:
• Safety First: Suspension components are under immense tension. Always use a proper spring compressor and secure the vehicle on robust safety jack stands.
