Question:

Did the 1998 S10 LS come with springs in the back?

Alright, you know how truck suspension systems have those big springs next to the wheels for extra support? (If not, you can't help me) Well, I just got my S10 used it does have springs in the back one of them fell off. So my step-dad called his mechanic son he said it's still drivable that he doesn't even think it's stock. So I was just wondering if it is, if so, do I need to get it fixed or can I continue driving it without that spring?

Answer:

These trucks come with what they call leaf springs in the rear as you describe. Someone had put a thing called helper springs, as they more and likely did towing with it, or carried allot of stuff that made the back end droop. Since one of the helper springs fell out, you can take the other one off, since it will not effect what you do during driving and such.
It has leaf springs in the rear but not coil springs.
