Help/info needed on new suspension problem

[rmb3218]

I have just had a suspension fitted by a dealer of one of Australia's largest suppliers of 4WD gear. The vehicle is a 2011 Toyota VDJ79 single cab Landcruiser. On the leaf spring the military/safety wrap is rubbing on the chassis. The dealer has contacted the supplier and they have come back and said that there is a undocumented variation in the spring mounts by Toyota. Their "fix" is to cut off the wrap. They say that susbsequent supplies of the leaf spring will come without the wrap. I have requested written confirmation of this before I allow them to "fix" the problem.

Has anyone else had this problem & any knowledge of the variation of the spring mounts on Toyota VDJ79?


Thanks, Kevin

I would not cut the off the spring.

That’s my opinion.
