I was getting an alignment at Big O as I scrolled thru pages of this beautiful forum. I was sweating the thought of replacing the read springs on my 97 myself but knew it necessary as I look to do an interstate move with my truck+trailer.
One lovely member has mentioned in an oh-by-the-way fashion that Toyota had recalled my rear coil springs! Moments later I found confirmation:
Toyota Recall 02V021000: Feb 28, 2002
Such sweet news! So I just wanted to say thank you to whomever that member is, for sharing such knowledge. I now have new rear coils, bumpers, etc. Thanks buddy!
I hope this news makes it on to the next owner who needs it. E
