High-Quality Owens Standard Rear Leaf Spring 4+3 (7 leaves)  for the Hilux Mk1/2/3 LN106, 1979 - 97 models listed and complete with eyelet bushes.

**Please ensure you are ordering for the correct Hilux 4x4 models listed, it is the customers responsibility to return these heavy items if ordered incorrectly**

Owens only manufacture using high-grade steels and processes, they are a leading supplier of leaf spring throughout Europe so we know we are supplying an exceptional quality spring that will withstand the prolonged use of a leaf spring in this area.
Using High-Grade steel means that Owens can maintain the same original ride quality without having to increase the 4 top ride leaves spring thickness yet when loaded the 3 main lower load springs are what takes the weight, hence the term a 4+3. 

The Spring comes complete with bushes and is made up of 7 leaves in a 4+3 configuration. At the end of the individual leaves are wear plates (like Toyota originals) which prevent the individual leaves wearing against each other during normal use thus prolonging the life of an Owen spring. The spring also comes with high-grade rubber bushes at each end for the eyelets.

The top 4 are the ride springs providing excellent suspension and ride quality when unladen, then when the weight is applied the top springs meet the bottom 3 'load' leaves forming a load carrying spring.

Many cheaper Imported springs will increase the thickness of the top ride springs to compensate for using cheaper poor quality steel, this, in turn, results in a very harsh ride and are susceptible to cracking.

  • The springs are painted in a "Transport" paint, as with all suspension components supplied, paint is not covered under warranty due to the very nature and position of the component.

Good practice:

  • It is always good practice to replace all springs as a pair so as to even out the loading, if you have one new spring acting with one old then the new spring will be under greater pressure, it could also affect the ride heights between old and new.
  • Replacing 'U' bolts too is a good idea, they can be a real pain to undo!

About Owens:
The company is totally committed to quality and this is evident by its accreditation for the manufacture, repair, and supply of all spring types by to BS EN ISO certification, which has been held since 1991, what's more they also hold the ISO9001 certification.

Flying Scotsman:
Manufacturing springs for well over 30 years their experience is second to none, in fact one of their highlights was being the chosen manufacturer to replace one of the broken leaf springs prior to the Flying Scotsman’s inaugural trip and are currently repairing and replacing the spare springs while the famous engine carries out its tour of the country

Fitting Tip:
Tighten all spring retaining bolts and shackles when the vehicle is at normal ride height, this is done once the vehicle is assembly, lowered back to the ground with the weight back on the suspension and bounced a few times, this allows the bushes to settle in and vital for correct final assembly.

Product Reviews for Owens Rear Leaf Spring UK Manufactured

Questions & Answers for Owens Rear Leaf Spring UK Manufactured


Should you replace rear springs as a pair?
It is always good practice to replace as a pair because if you only fit one new spring then this will stronger than the weaker one still fitted and this will result in the vehicle sitting higher on the side the new spring is fitted too. Also, the new spring will be taking more of the load which will not be spread evenly across the two springs.

Do the rear chassis bushes come with the spring?
No, only rubber bushes to fit either spring eyelet end are supplied. We do sell a complete Urethane upgrade bush kit by Whiteline if needed.

Is it necessary to replace all the pins?
No, if you know your originals are in good working order and not corroded on the pins then you can re-use, however, our new shackles and pins are now greaseable so many customers are replacing them out of choice.

What about "U" bolts?
Personally, I would always replace these by cutting off the old ones. The time it can take, let alone the effort to try to remove an old U-bolt can outweigh the price of a pair of new ones.....your mechanic will certainly prefer this option!!
'U' bolt Torque - 90 ft/lb or 123 nm, always torque evenly and of equal length.
It's widely known in the trade that cracked springs in the "U" bolt area is down to insufficient torque so always ensure this is done correctly and re-checked after some usage.
Cracking of a spring in the "U" bolt area is not covered by warranty, it's widely publicised throughout spring manufacturers that this is proven to be incorrect 'U' bolts torque.

Does the spring material really make a difference?
Without question, yes as a cheap spring steel manufacturer will more than likely have increased the thickness of the individual leaves to compensate for poor materials, the idea being to try to stop it either cracking or fading early when continually in use, this in turn results in a hard riding spring and indeed one that does end up cracking after prolonged use as they not so supple in the ride leaves.
