2000 Toyota Tundra. I have just had to replace broken leaf springs for the second time. I have also had to replace both sway bar links (rusted off). Have extensive corrosion on the frame, especially in rear. Vehicle is in good shape other than the frame and underbody corrosion issues.
I am writing on my 2000 Toyota Tundra. I just noticed the recall due to rust found on the rear frame. I also would like to alert you rust found on the front suspension joints. I just replaced my front sway bar links due to rust. The links snapped off and this caused the truck to lean more in the turn or cause more body roll. This I believe is safety issue because if you need to perform and emergency maneuver this could cause the truck to loose control. While I was under the truck repairing the links I did notice a lot of rust in the front suspension that looks like it could fail. The upper control arms have heavy amounts of rust. I did not look at the spare tire bracket as mention in the recall but I have notice the rust in rear section of the frame. The location both shocks have heavy rust at their points of attachment as well as the break line holders. I hope you find this information helpful feel free to contact me with any question.
Excessive rust. Sway bar ends links rusted off. Power steering rack rusted thru and leaked needed replacement. Exhaust header leak because of rust. Several tech's have called it a 'rust bucket' underneath.
I pulled out of my driveway and heard a thump, stopped, got out of my truck,and checked to see what happened. I found the top portion of my front sway bar (linkage) in the road. It had rusted away between the two rubber bushings, (on the passenger side). If I had been driving down the road, I would never have noticed this had happened. . . Isn't the sway bar a needed component in the handling of any vehicle?.
