If your rears are leaking that much then your fronts are prolly as bad if not worse. There's a superceeded part number for the rear struts (Jap part no) and the fronts are still the same. Had mine done(all 4) earlier this year.

the other 3 shocks looks ok, but i'm getting toyota to check em out as part of my 20,000km service.

probably get toyota to replace both rears or all 4 shockies if possible :)

what are the jap part no for the rear strut?

Anyone have prices for KYB shocks? I am looking at replacing them soon with either Konis or KYBs, can't be bothered with stock shocks.

Btw guys what are the signs and symptoms of worn shocks besides seeing an oil leak? Sometimes its just hard to notice the oil. I know some guys in the past say they hear "knocking" sounds, are they soft, loud, metallic, squeashy or what? I think the only clicking/clunking sound i hear sometimes might come from either the rear swaybar, or front/rear shorter bumpstops, or even the front strutbar. I'm not too fussed abt noises though, its more the driving feel. How can we "feel" for the problem?

I have investigated KYB options and could only be told that they only do a replacement for the standard strut that's non adjustable and is basically the same. Prices weren't available at this time but may be now.

      Vibration through body (not steering wheel) under acceleration

      Well, new tyres, a proper wheel balance seems to have done about 90% of the trick - the car now drives like it once did. The only thing is that a wheel bearing was called out as "completely stuffed" and as it is so bad, the only way to fix due to wear on the knuckle is to replace the whole thing. Quoted $600 for the repair and no parts for this until mid next week. Once this is replaced I will update if back to 100% or still more problems. I was thinking that the aftermarket CV shafts could be to blame - very glad this turned out not to be the case.

      New to Toyota - 2005 Corolla Sportivo!

      Long time no update. In all honesty, not an awful lot to update on. Life has been super busy and inbetween life, I get a chance here and there to clean the beast and also arrange for the usual 5000 km oil change. The car is showing it's age with more noticeable paint fade on the roof. After some time I've decided to order the parts to fix my slow power steering leak. After receiving the quote from Toyota, I was able to get the parts from overseas for not even a 1/3 of the cost it would've cost me to order here. The parts are due here in 2-3 weeks and I'm thinking of getting this done with the major service which will be due later this year at some point seenig as the car is quickly approaching 293000 kms this month. Other than that, I'm still enjoying driving the car and the money spent late last year was well worth it.

      Vibration through body (not steering wheel) under acceleration

      I've noticed the same issue after changing the front shocks from OEM to KYB - and while I don't think the shocks are to blame, it could be that there's been an issue which the old shocks covered up by not working at all after 230,000kms. I've also changed the CV joints in mine, replaced the front suspension bushings; hoping that a wheel alignment and new tyres helps this - will post back in the morning the result. Adam,
