Broken FOX Suspension Spring

Pulled into garage this morning after a Lowes run and there was a piece of red spring in the middle of drive. Sure enough looked under the truck and the front right spring was broken. Truck has 22500 easy miles. Can I get just a replacement spring? I called local Toyota dealer and of course they want me to bring it in so they can diagnos the problem..... well duh! I'm sure it's not warrantied. Thoughts?

 

Fracture initiated at a surface flaw caused by corrosion.

 

Another member on here a few months back was having a helluva time finding a replacement spring. Everyone recommended he just find a comparable aftermarket spring option and rebuild the coilovers with the replacement springs. Obviously you'd want to do both sides to have the same spring rate and such

 

Possible that the flaw was there prior to corrosion?
Not that it makes much difference.

 

if you look close at that pic of the entire spring piece, the left side of pic, that has been broken for awhile. I thought I heard a slight clicking noise in the front for awhile when turning in the drive. I'm already looking for parts. Screw the dealer bs!

 

I may be mistaken, but I think that other member was able to source a pair of reasonably comparable springs through @memario1214

 

Thanks for sharing that info. That kind of makes me want to offload my TRD pro shocks while they're worth something and just replace them with something comparable that's readily available in the aftermarket.

 

I erased my post. Just get them Eibach springs from Colton @memario1214 . Sometimes I forget he's able to sell almost everything!

 

Or just lift your truck a bit with the Eibach lift springs? If/when they break, that is.

 

How much front lift would those Eibach springs provide over the stock TRD pro springs? I have about 1-3/4" of rake because I have the Icon AAL on the rear, and want to keep most of that to avoid squatting when towing. Guess I could spring for RAS too if I have to lift the front up more

 

Once things with the wife cool off from some other projects' spending I'll hit you up.

 

I thought he was saying he want's your OE Fox setup

Although I'm sure he'd be happy to be on the other end of the transacton as well

 

Yea I figured he meant he knew a guy for both. Unfortunately the wifey wouldn't view that opportunity as positively as I lol

 

It says 1.8". Not sure how exact that is. You'd probably be looking about perfectly level, maybe a slight rake. Totally guessing, though.

 

I'm usually wrong.... So, that tracks

 

I actually took it as "I know a guy" meant OP on this thread might want to buy my shocks, and @memario1214 also would sell me some new aftermarket replacement shocks.

 

No... it's mostly banter and bullshit

 

Thanks guys. Appreciate the info!
