wondered if anyone else encountered shock failure like mine? considering low mileage...

thinking aloud... are stivo shocks of such poor quality? :o

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.

      New member seeking advice for parts

      Hi guys! I'm Alberto, I just finished importing a HZJ73 from Japan and I love it! The car came without spare wheel holder and it seems discounted so I don't know what do to. Someone knows where I can find it or what else works as replacement? I don't mind if is not oem part as far as it works 😅 I'm based in Brisbane if it makes some kind of difference Pictures attached as reference

      Can I put a 2010 bumper on my 2008 Camry ?

      I have a 2008 Camry altise and recently damaged the front bumper and i'm wondering if I can fit a 2010 sportivo bumper on to replace it. It looks like it fits I know I will need to get new headlights for it to fit but do I need to do any modifications or will all the plastic clips and screws line up ?

      am2 fuse blowing

      Hello, i have a 1996 starlet The problem is when i turn the key the fuse blows, and i have been looking over the wiring and can’t find any shorts or damaged wire. The car would not crank over because of the fise blowing. I found out that if i disconnect the transponder key ecu the fuse is holding, but as soon as i connect the transponder the fuse blows. So i wonder if there is something I can try out? should i just buy a new transponder box or is it something else i could try? and is it not kinda wierd that the box is the problem? I have looked inside the box and cant see any corrosion in the box

      Toyota Celica '96 5S-FE no spark

      Hi everyone, I have spent too much time on my Celica and even my mechanic is stumped at figuring out the issue so any tips will be appreciated. Here is what has been done, immobiliser disbabled, distributor replaced, igniter replaced, EFI relay replaced, and EFI 15AMP fuse is not blown. I tried jumping E1 and TE1 in the diagnostic port to try and get a code from the CEL but it doesn't light up, I think it might be burned out so I will have to get on that. I am now clueless about what to do next, it could be the ECU but I can't find any pointers too that.
