Tokico struts for sale updated page 1 pics

[Gregtrd]

I got a set of used Tokico struts for sale, they only got about 5k miles if that, they look new. These were taken off because i installed a new set of TRD struts on a customers car (a while back) that had just gotten new Tokico struts. asking price is $280, they were originally purchased for $400.

WHY PEOPLE BUY NEW SHOCK ABSORBERS AND STRUTS
According to one consumer survey by Monroe, 70 percent of people think the primary function of shocks and struts is to provide a comfortable ride. Consequently, replacement is seen as a low priority. Only 21 percent of the people surveyed recognized the fact that new shocks and struts can improve handling and ride control.

However, 56 percent of the respondents said the most compelling reason for replacing shocks and struts is to improve vehicle safety, handling and control. The safety aspect of ride control usually does not receive much attention because few people realize its importance. But the condition of the shocks and struts does affect driving safety.

Tests carried out by the Cologne Institute for Traffic Safety in Switzerland found that marginal shocks (50 percent less dampening ability than new shocks) increased the distance it took to stop the vehicle by 21 feet at 31 mph, a 23 percent increase! This occurred because the worn shocks allowed the wheels to hop rather than maintain good contact with the road surface. In other tests, they found that braking while cornering on slick roads with worn shocks could make a vehicle lose control.

Another reason to replace weak shocks and struts is to prolong tire life and the life of other suspension components. Uncontrolled suspension gyrations cause constant changes in camber and toe. This scrubs rubber off the tires and accelerates tire wear. It also increases motion and friction in the ball joints, tie rods and control arm bushings too, which over time adds up to wear.
