1991-1997 Toyota Landcruiser Series 80 | Rear Spring Isolator Set
The Energy Suspension 8.6102 Rear Spring Isolator Set is one of the best ways to secure the coil spring to the suspension. The coil spring is a key part in absorbing shock and vibrations from rough roads, bumps, and dips. The isolator is used to make sure the coil spring stays 'seated' correctly, so the spring stays in the correct alignment within the strut. They are meant to replace the the factory supplied rubber isolators for the 1991-1997 Toyota Landcruiser Series 80. And since these pads are made out of polyurethane, they are guaranteed to last for a long time.
Possible Issues
Constantly driving down bumpy roads can break down normal rubber isolator pads over time. Other factors for the breakdown of these rubber parts include road oils, sudden temperature changes, or coastal climates. The Landcruiser is made to go through terrain that involve all of these issues. If these isolators were to fail the coil spring can shift which may cause some issues with the feeling of the car while driving. Failed isolators can also allow metal on metal contact between the spring and the strut making the ride louder and rougher than usual. These isolators need to stay intact to keep the spring in place and separated from the top of the strut.
Polyurethane vs Rubber
These coil spring isolators are made out of a more resilient and long-lasting material known as polyurethane which is more dense and durable than rubber. Instead of replacing the factory made isolators with another set of rubber ones that will break within a few years, use polyurethane. Polyurethane is not as soft as rubber which means that it does not absorb as much of the vibration that the vehicle goes through while driving, but they also hold the spring much more secure and have a longer natural lifespan than rubber by an estimated 20-30 years.
