The rear springs are different toyota part numbers for both left and right. I will do some research on Monday and see why this is, I hate to speculate, but the increased weight from the fuel tank may have been a reason to change the spring rate on one side. The parking brake cable bolts to the leaf spring, but as far as I can remember there is two tapped holes so they could be used on either side. I have done a few of the TSB's on the rear suspension squeak from the teflon pads, if the pads are white then the TSB has been done, if they are black then they are still stock from '05. I am sure that if you just greased them up they would be okay, but the fix is fairly inexpensive. If you are interested in the kit, I can check prices for you.

I hope this helps.
