Two problems related to rear suspension leaf spring have been reported for the 1998 Toyota Tacoma. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The other day I was driving down the road and hit a small pothole with my 1998 Toyota Tacoma and the bottom leaf in the drivers side rear leaf spring pack snapped in half. And is now hanging down and it can potentially make contact with my tires sidewall.
Chasis/leaf spring/rear axle is defective, the vehicle leans over a one inch degree to the drivers side, no one has to be in the vehicle, the dealer replaced the spring and fixed up the bed level, vehicle still leans over one half inch without anyone in. Dealer contacted six times or more and cannot duplicate the problem.
