Mitsubishi L200 Rear Leaf Springs: Specs, Fitment & Common Faults

Genuinely worth knowing: the L200 uses leaf springs at the rear, not coil springs — a fundamentally different design from almost every passenger car covered on this site.

Confirmed: Leaf Springs Do Double Duty — Springing AND Axle Location

Genuinely important to understand: the L200's leaf spring assemblies create the exclusive mechanical link between the rear axle housing and the chassis — there are no separate control arms or trailing links in this design, unlike a coil-spring independent rear suspension. This means the leaf springs aren't just responsible for absorbing bumps; they also physically locate and position the rear axle. A leaf spring that's cracked, sagging, or has a broken leaf doesn't just affect ride quality — it can allow the axle itself to shift out of proper alignment.

Genuinely worth knowing about load-rated variants: uprated leaf spring kits are available in different load capacities (for example, +300kg or +600kg over standard) — confirm which capacity matches your specific truck's original specification and intended use before ordering, since fitting the wrong rated spring affects ride quality and handling.

A Part That's Structural, Not Just a Spring

Because the leaf spring also locates the axle, wear or failure here shows up differently from a coil spring — watch for a wandering or vague feeling at the rear, uneven axle positioning (visible as the axle sitting slightly askew), or an audible clunk from a cracked or shifted leaf, in addition to the more familiar signs of sagging and reduced load capacity.

Before you buy: generation, standard vs uprated load capacity, and towing/working use all affect which leaf spring specification is right for your truck. Always confirm against your VIN before ordering.

OEM Part Numbers

Accuracy note: genuinely worth knowing: leaf spring kits are commonly sold with matching U-bolts and shackles as a complete kit — confirm whether you need the full hardware kit or just the leaf spring pack itself before ordering.
Standard-duty leaf spring packThe factory-fit specification for everyday use — genuinely a different part from the uprated versions below
Uprated leaf spring pack (e.g. +300kg capacity)A genuinely different spring pack from standard, adding load capacity for towing or working use — not a drop-in equivalent to the standard-duty spring
Uprated leaf spring pack (e.g. +600kg capacity)A further, stiffer step up again from the lower-rated uprated pack — confirm your exact load requirement before choosing between capacity options

Always replace leaf spring packs in pairs — a single new pack paired with an old, sagged one on the other side creates an uneven ride height and axle alignment issue.

What It Does

The rear leaf spring supports the weight of the load bed and rear axle, absorbs the initial impact of a bump, and — uniquely compared with a coil-spring setup — physically locates the rear axle in place, since the L200's design has no separate control arms doing that job. A sagged, cracked, or broken leaf spring affects both ride height and axle alignment, and in severe cases is an MOT failure item.
