The Old Man Emu ARB CS017RA Dakar rear leaf spring is part of ARB’s integrated 4x4 suspension system, engineered to improve ride performance, handling, and load-carrying capability across recreational and commercial applications. Designed for select Toyota Land Cruiser models from 1980 through 1989, this leaf spring provides a dependable suspension upgrade when matched with Old Man Emu shock absorbers and other compatible components.
Old Man Emu Dakar leaf springs are built with application-specific spring options to help achieve the desired balance of comfort, stability, and load support. The spring is load tested to verify it meets required specifications, shot peened to reduce stress and promote longer service life, and fully scragged to help minimize the risk of sagging. Draw-tapered and diamond-cut leaves support consistent performance under demanding operating conditions.
A flat axle seat area promotes a secure axle mount while helping reduce spring stress. The military wrap design adds an extra measure of safety, while bolted leaf clamps allow the installation of anti-squeak nylon liners. Re-greasable nylon interleaf anti-friction pads reduce friction at the leaf tips, helping support smoother spring movement and quieter operation. The two-stage leaf pack used on most rear spring applications is designed to provide improved comfort while maintaining useful load capacity.
This Old Man Emu ARB CS017RA leaf spring fits 1980-1989 Toyota Land Cruiser applications, including model years 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, and 1989. Verify vehicle configuration and suspension requirements before installation. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper fitment, axle alignment, and suspension performance.
