First post here- I am well into a front end rebuild on Bruno my recently aquired FJ62. I searched with no luck. I noticed in the FSM there is supposed to be a "distance plate" between the leaf springs and spring seat on the underside of the leaf springs. This wasn't there when I disassembled the front end.
What is the purpose of this and is it required? I see Spectre has these OEM for $53 or something they call a spring pad for $3. Is this only just a pad to reduce wear on the leaf spring?
