I am in the process of restoring the leaf springs suspension on my '81 BJ42 and somebody recommended I should grease the leaf springs. I've searched the forum and the internet and came across divergent opinions on this matter:
NO, you should never grease or oil the leaf springs because...

I’m removing my front leaf springs for a lift. Got the front bolts and shackles off easy but the rear bolt of the front spring won’t budge. I’ve removed the little retainer bolt on the wheel side and of course the inside nut. I’ve pounded on it with a mini sledge and it’s not moving out. It will...
Hi mudders,
Little background first. I bought this HJ47 emergency service vehicle (outback paramedic truck) and imported it from Australia. I drove it some before I left the country for close to a year. It drove fine but would shake a lot (I'm not talking about baby steering wheel shake; this...
Hey All,
Looking for suggestions in regards to best multi-purpose leaf springs for my 1989 HJ61. I'd like something a little more progressive but able to handle heavy load as well.
Any advice/lessons learned would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
I want stock spec leaf springs to replace the old worn out ones on my 1983 FJ60. Anyone try or have luck with these ? (the Toyota part numbers they reference are correct, but I have no idea if those physical dimensions are indeed correct for a stock setup) :

Does anyone have a spare front leaf spring laying around their garage in Montana or Idaho? My girlfriend's 1983 series 60 has a broken spring. I figure there must be someone who has put a lift on theirs....who has a spring or two laying in the garage collecting dust.
Spring bushes were noted on the annual inspection but while underneath a good look at the springs revealed some issues. The ride is good and the height OK with nothing sagging but should I be concerned with the amount of wear on these leaves?

Recently bought hj60 and the rear springs were so saggy I know I had to do something to them to get the car tested/mot/whatsoever. Found a used ome kit locally in ok condition and bought it.

So i was cleaning out my engine bay getting the frame ready for doing some welding and i noticed one of my leaf springs had a diamond logo on it. upon closer inspection i found that there were 3 in a manner that looks strikingly similar to the Mitsubishi logo. if this is something well know my...
Doing a resto on a '66 and hoping someone who's done a lift still has their OEM springs lying around that I can paint and use. I'm in central North Carolina.
I just installed new Leaf Springs on a 1986 FJ60. I did not put this plate on the top and the rubber on the bottom when I installed new springs. Should I have done this. Or dose it matter if I don't do this. The springs are old man emu.
