MOOG 81041 Coil Spring Set for Toyota 4Runner

Procedure for a 1998 Toyota 4 Runner that worked for me. Note: not a mechanic but a weekend DIY "wrench". Chock front wheel. Jack up rear end. Safety stands on both sides. Remove both rear tires. Remove sway bar link to connecting nut on both sides. Remove both bottom bolts on the shocks. (you will need to wiggle/pry bar them off)Place bottle jack (I used the bottle jack located beneath the rear seat) between axle and bump stop on one side of your choice. This is where "be brave" comes into play, expand jack to enlarge opening until you can wrestle out the old spring. Beware! - stored energy is dangerous energy - I used a small block of hardwood to keep the jack centered and stable.Reuse the spring bump stop on new spring. Understand that the opening you provided to remove the old spring will most likely need to be expanded slightly more due to increased height of new springs. Larger end goes "north" or top - be sure the end of the springs top and bottom seat in the proper position. Should be able to tell by old imprint. Remove bottle jack and repeat on other side.Note: When "rebolting" the shocks you may find it handy to use a floor jack to push up and position for an easier installation. I had to hammer mine on slightly. Do not hammer the shock in the middle - tap/hit the bottom round ring.Be sure to reattach links - or replace as I needed to sawzall mine off.

Better than stock! Ive never seen it in its factory hight. Bought the car in 2005. Rear was already sagging. 2025 upgraded along with leveling kit and rough country shocks. Love the hight and feel.

Solved sagging rear end of 1997 4Runner 4WD, stock suspension - no lift kit - easy install

After installing the MOOG 81090 Coil Spring Set on my 1997 4Runner, the ride quality has been restored. These springs provide the perfect amount of support and height, making my SUV feel brand new. MOOG's reputation for durable and reliable components holds true. If you want to bring your vehicle's suspension back to life, these coil springs are a wise choice!

I bought these to replace the sagging rear springs in my 2002 4Runner and these were the right match. The install wasn’t too hard. I opted to not disconnect any suspension components or brake lines. I “rented” (free at any auto parts store) a spring compressor, jacked up the rear from the differential pumpkin, took the rear tires off and set them aside, supported the rear frame with jack stands, and lowered the axle as low as possible. Now you can use the spring compressor to get the old springs out fairly quickly but getting in the taller springs is harder and requires compressing them quite a bit and a few attempts.Ride quality is the same as stock and it also helped the rear end from bucking up when braking which is great. Combined with some new shocks, and it’s a world of difference.

Bought these to replace the rear coils on a 2000 Toyota 4Runner 4x4 that were way overdue and sagging. These did add about 1.5" to ride height as others stated but vehicle now has 1" lean on rear left and 0.5 inch on front left (rear bringing front down.) As it turns out this is normal on 4Runners and Tacomas where the OEM left coils are a bit taller to compensate for the lean but these Moog coils are exactly the same height. I've since purchased a 1.5" Daystar spacer and will pop that on the rear left once the extra tall jack stands (23") and spring compressor comes in. I know others were successfully remove the rear coils by popping out the bottom shock bolt and sway bar end link but added height of spacer will need the spring to be compressed further to get back in. Anyway, 4 out of 5 stars as they're holding up nice.

These springs fit perfectly and work great on my 4Runner. 4Runner is stock on 16” rims and this fixed my ride and ride height issues. It no longer bottoms out easy and rides very nice. Exactly what I was looking for! These are supposed to be for 3rd gen runners with 16” rims. Will buy again.
