TRD struts owner - Warning !

by **qlaval** » Wed Nov 06, 2002 4:52 pm

Hi!

I've been in touch with a TRD rep today.

For you all, should one of your TRD strut become defective while under
warranty, all Toyota-TRD will do to help you out, is covering the cost (parts & time)
to have your car put back with his original suspension. :cry:

I'm sorry but this policy sucks, you loose your original
investement, in Canada these 4 struts detail for about $1500usd !
Plus the full installation expense $$$

I can't understand Toyota, when they are discountinuing such valuable
mod they should at least keep a few hundred to cover their defective
ones! :roll:

Worst should your strut become defective when you`re not under
warranty (like me) then you are on your own. So if you're lucky enough
to find a used one somewhere-somehow and replace it good for you
because if not your only other option is to go out i buy four other
struts of another brand (like Tokico) because even Bilstein don't build
them any more. Plus one more time a full installation.... $$$ :evil:

Let me tell you that i did learn a pretty expensive lesson,
Pray hard and every night for the good health of your TRD struts ! :wink:

Hi again,

Since so far i've been unable to find a used/new TRD strut replacement
for my defective one. :cry:

I've been starting to check price for Tokico struts, is this a good price?

www.shox.com
$399USD
Premium Performance Front: HB3184(2)
Premium Performance Rear: HB3181(2)

Thanks,

Q

Thats how much they usually go for. I have a tokico/eibach setup, and I'm lovin it.

That's horrible! Sorry to hear it, man. Everyone on this board seems to like the Tokico/Eibach setup, and that price seems pretty much normal. Good luck!

I am a noob but it's easy to change the front suspensions... The rear is another story. I am still in the middle of tearing the rear panels apart to get the bolts off the rear struts...

This is gonna take long... :lol:
