I drive an 85 Toyota 4wd Pickup. This truck has the stock leaf-springs on all four wheels, and I think mine might be bad. How can i tell? Does anyone know of a good test to tell if the springs are shot?
thanks, Anders

Depends on your definition of "bad". If leaves are broken, then for sure they are bad. IF on the otherhand, you are talking about limited suspension travel due to minimal clearance to the bumpstops, then this is normal settling of the springs over time, see:
