1. were can i buy those leaf ?

2. Dude, you rock. I wasn't even aware this was an option and because of your video, I found a somewhat local fabricator to get me one made for both sides with hardware delivered for $400cad instead of the $2300 per side that Mopar charges.

3. Might be replacing that brake line next. Lol

4. had the same thing happen was scared i would have to replace the whole pack and spring but your video set my mind at ease. So very glad i can replace a single leaf thanks so much keep up the good work, also it seems from the vids ive seen that exact leaf always fails first most likely on trucks thanks again!

5. driver side for me. 2004 d22

6. First video I found on the topic. Trying to fix my tundra driver side leaf.

7. Should have known better to go directly too Musties channel for Tundra info.

8. Can't believe this vid popped up on my recommended watch! I just noticed my 93 Toyota 4×4 had the same spring break on the passenger side. The ends were rusty so I know it wasn't recent but it bugged me ounce I discovered it. Made the truck 1 inch lower and that's really bugged me. I saw spring packs starting at $100 on Rock auto and O'riely's was $500+ for one side. Ended up going to "Michigan Spring" up your way. $180 per side + u bolts. They said Torque to 100 #, Drive for a day and retorque. I'm sure it is not going to be a 25 minute job. I've never done this before. Kind of scared about all the energy those springs hold. You make things look easier than they really are. Thanks for the vid. At least I have an idea what's ahead of me. Hope my springs show up soon.

9. Leave it to mustie to be the only one to show me exactly what I needed to learn. Lmao. "Torque it to spec" proceeds to tighten the piss out of it with an air wrench 😂🤣

10. I have a Tundra and the exact same leaf broke on mine. Nice to know I don't have to replace the whole thing. Thanks

11. Mustard.👍

12. It definitely blows my mind how easy you make stuff look!

13. would this cause a change in the pinion angle?

14. I wish you had some kind of a huge sandblaster I really that bar chain oil is got to be very messy…..

15. Why didn't you just go to a junkyard you can't buy new springs cuz the height and everything will be wrong but used ones does not broken any junkyard I wouldn't cost you but about a hundred bucks you get the complete thing

16. Great vid I have the same broken spring on my 07 f150. It’s the spring with the camp on it.

17. Sprays pb blaster…immediately attacks with impact….lol

18. Drums very much rusty

19. these are $1,200 per side from Toyota dealer

20. You have a notion, when dealing with leaf suspensions take them apart on a work bench.

21. Well done Mustie!!

22. My 2003 tundra had the frame replaced by Toyota, however when they did it they failed to change a broken l/h leaf spring. mine also rubbed a hole into a brand new Bilstein shock .The front drivers side lower ball joint let go and ruined a tyre in the process. Apparently both the sring and ball joint were part of a recall but I was never notified of it and fixed the spring and balljoint myself . Otherwise a good truck .

23. Hi sir. I have a 2002 tundra v8 4.7 liter, I believe it’s the same as yours. The same leaf spring you replaced, mine broke on both sides. I’m trying to replace mine but I live internationally. So where I’m from we don’t have companies that make them for you like the way Donovan spring co did for you. I don’t kno what to do an I would like to see how I can get 2 of the same ones you got replaced on your tundra.

24. You're brave jacking the car up on the drum brake housing 🤨 I can't tell if there are jack stands. Be careful bro.

25. Probably wouldn't have been a bad idea to replace them all…they look badly corroded

26. Metal cracking is contingent on metal grain structure. When the piece is initially formed there likely was a dislocation of some sort in the grain which ultimately can cause a crack which would grow over time. It would take a good microscope to see it, and then you have to know what to look for.

27. i paid 120 for tje same single leaf in reno at johns spring service

28. My tundra is going in for a 3rd set of springs.

29. You know it wil be alot easier if you took the whole spring of

30. Does every leaf spring has its own side or there is a possibility to switch the driver to the passenger side?

31. I had an 01 and a 00 now both with the same spring broke but on the passenger side. The first time I had a local shop replace the single spring for about $250. I just got heavy duty replacement packs from ats spring in PA and will be installing soon. The complete 5 leaf hd packs we're about $600 shipped with new u-bolts, eye bolts, and bump stops.

32. i don’t even have a leaf spring on my truck and i’m watching this video cause you do an amazing job explaining and how to video

33. great price one here said he had bargain at 250$ looked they were salvage yard springs i can do that for 39 $

34. If I were you I would of put neverseize on the studs

35. I had a 1985 chevy silverado PU that broke two spring leafs on the driver side and actually went clanging down the road.they broke where the alignment stud passes thru them.luckily there is a shop near here that builds spring packs and cuts spring leafs too.

36. Nice Video

37. Super helpful. Cheers!

38. This save me hundreds of dollars, I was pricing two leaf packs.

39. What information did you have to the shop who made your new spring? Curious to know how the had the correct dimensions for length and curvature.
