Parts for your 2022 Toyota Land cruiser-Coil springs

2022 Toyota LandCruiser 300 coil springs — what they do and how to look after them

Technical sources confirm coil springs are absolutely relevant to the 2022 Toyota LandCruiser 300. Toyota’s global LC300 technical release (June 2021) and Toyota Australia model specifications describe a double-wishbone independent front suspension with coil springs and a four-link rear setup with coil springs, optionally paired with Adaptive Variable Suspension and e-KDSS. No leaf springs or air-only systems are used on the 2022 LandCruiser 300, so coil springs are fundamental to how this model rides and handles.

On the LC300, the coil springs carry vehicle weight, set ride height, and keep the tyres planted over corrugations, potholes and off-road ruts. They work hand-in-hand with the dampers (shocks), sway bars, and, where fitted, e-KDSS to balance comfort and control. Correct spring rates are key: too soft and it wallows or bottoms out, too stiff and it rides harshly and struggles for grip on broken surfaces. With touring add-ons common in Australia and New Zealand—bull bar, winch, drawers, long-range tank—the right front and rear spring rates help keep the LandCruiser level, confident, and compliant over long kilometres.

As part of servicing, a quick coil spring check goes a long way. Look for chipped or flaking paint (which invites rust), cracked or broken coils, and shiny “polished” spots where coils have been contacting. Uneven ride height side-to-side hints at spring sag. Listen for clunks over speed humps that can suggest a broken lower coil or perished isolators. If towing or carrying constant load, check for rear squat, constant-load rated springs may be the smarter choice.

• Replace coil springs in axle pairs to keep handling balanced.
• Choose rates matched to actual accessories and payload, not just plans.
• Renew rubber isolators, seats and bump stops when doing springs.
• Get a wheel alignment after spring changes, caster/camber will shift.
• Tighten suspension bolts at normal ride height, re-torque after 500–1,000 km.
• Rinse road salt and red dirt from spring seats to prevent corrosion.

For touring rigs, pairing the right coils with quality dampers transforms fatigue levels on long hauls. Stay within local lift rules in AU/NZ, and if adding serious weight, consider a GVM upgrade engineered for the LC300 platform.

Popular questions about 2022 Toyota LandCruiser 300 coil springs

How long do the LC300’s coil springs typically last?
With mixed city–highway use, well-specced coil springs often last 150,000–250,000 kilometres. Heavy corrugations, beach work, or constant high loads can shorten that. Inspect annually, or before and after big trips.

Do the springs need upgrading if fitting a bull bar, winch or drawers?
Often, yes. Added mass at the nose or tail lowers ride height and reduces bump travel. Constant-load coils matched to the accessory weight restore height and handling, and help the dampers do their job.

What are the signs the LC300’s coil springs are worn?
Uneven ride height, frequent bottoming on speed humps, a harsh or bouncy ride, or visible damage to the coils or isolators are common clues. Any broken coil demands immediate replacement in pairs.
