Toyota Hilux 1996–1998 Leaf Spring – SUP9 Spring Steel

Overview

This leaf spring for the Toyota Hilux is a new aftermarket replacement available from Asia Parts Store. No genuine OE number is published for this listing, so fitment should be confirmed using your vehicle details and the information below. It is aimed at owners of 4x4s, utes and light commercial vehicles who want to restore or adjust ride height and suspension support for New Zealand roads, tracks and work use.

Leaf springs carry the weight of the vehicle and its load on the rear axle of most utes and light commercial vehicles. Over time springs sag, crack or lose their arch, which lowers ride height, reduces load capacity and can cause the vehicle to bottom out. A replacement spring restores ride height and support.

Signs that leaf springs need replacing include a rear end that sits low or leans to one side, bottoming out over bumps, cracked or broken leaves, and leaves that have flattened out. Replacing worn springs restores ride height and helps the vehicle carry its load safely.

Vehicle Compatibility

Compatibility is based on the information supplied with this product and has not been VIN-verified. Where a field is blank, that detail was not supplied — please confirm it with our team.

Fitment & Installation

Leaf springs are normally replaced in pairs so both sides sit at the same height. Fit new spring bushes and U-bolts where required, torque the U-bolts and spring eye bolts to specification with the vehicle at ride height, and have the axle alignment checked if the vehicle tracks unevenly.

Professional installation is recommended. In New Zealand, suspension and ride-height changes must still meet Warrant / Certificate of Fitness requirements, and larger modifications may need LVVTA certification — check with a certifier before fitting if you are unsure.
