This is One Of The Most Expensive Shocks In Toyota Land!

If you can live without the adjustable shocks, Bilstein 4600s are $100/ea and deliver a decent ride. Disconnecting the adjustable dampers won't trip any dash warning lights. Love your channel!

Another tip for removing shock or struts "easier", clean the threads with a wire brush as best possible and spray some penetrating fluid and let it sit for a sec. At work, we used to replace rear shocks all the time and 90% of the time, we would break the shock off at the nut due to corrosion and they would crack off. We would need to buy nuts also and sometimes they were a pain to get. Now i spend 1 min cleaning the threads and a quick shot of lube and i never snap the shocks anymore. For DIYers, it definitely worth the time.

I replaced struts on my 2001 Avalon about two years ago with KYB struts. Initially I was hesitant whether to do that or go with Toyota struts. It was an old car so I just went with KYB. It worked beautifully and couldn’t have been happier given the cost savings and the ride felt just like it used too.

When you went from really old shocks struts to new ones you'd feel that way. Doesn't matter.

[@nekto34]

This lecture about KYB struts is very useful. A shop did the front struts on my 2004 4Runner 1.5 yrs ago and the mount on the passenger side strut is loose and rattles every time I go over bumps. Took it to five shops with this issue, all said it's nice and tight and fine. Now I understand it's likely that these shocks are not to the specs of the vehicle - it cannot be that loose.

[@johnmedina5399]

Blistein makes great shocks. The new trd Toyotas usually use blisteins. Also get new top hats.

[@jamram9924]

In my shop experience, some of the issues are with the KYB strut mounts. When I see the country of origin like India or Thailand , I’ll use the factory mounts. It’s the quality of materials used in that country. The average customer doesn’t know or even care. I take this extra step because I don’t care to perform a repair within the 12 month/12,000 warranty our shop extends to our customers.

I just ripped out the air bags and adjustable suspension on my gx470. I installed old man emu coils and shocks. Lifted the vehicle 3 inches for the price off 2 of those shocks. It rides and handles way better now. The air ride in the gx line up is a gimmic

[@993mike]

I replaced the entire front and rear suspension on my GX with a kit from Dobinson, which included pre-assembled front struts & springs, rear twin tube shocks, and rear airbag replacement springs, locating pucks & isolators. Way better body control than the wallowy air bags, way less front dive under braking, and the shocks & springs give an excellent ride. Total win, and it was something I did in my own garage, all for about $2K including new swaybar links and bushings. It even leveled out the truck with a mild 1" lift in the front and I chose the zero lift rear springs, but they offer higher lift options as well.

The shocks you refer to are only used on the rear of one trim level, the luxury trim and they're $769 each, the front ones are $388 each and that's directly from Lexus parts online. You can get them cheaper elsewhere. But most of us GX460 owners just switch brands when it comes time for new shocks and we go with a set of Bilsteins which cost less than half that.

[@scottreed991]

[@adamhlj]

I currently have a GX470 that I lifted, so I lost the dampening ability. However I kept the airbags and added a couple of washers to the sensor to trick the truck into thinking its lower so it raises it up a bit. I've thought about upgrading to a GX460, and there is one currently for sale near me that is the base model, so no fancy shocks, no airbag suspension. If you want to get one to eventually lift, I think that is the way to go.

[@JohnSmith-yv6eq]

A 1991 Nissan Terrano R3M SUV (JDM import) had shocks that were electrically controlled ( valving) and were $800 each then... in 1999. The two choices were "Sport" and "Comfort" controlled by a switch down on the centre console Over time the "Comfort" mode just led to wallowing... and then "Sport" mode wore out and also led to wallowing. I replaced them with normal non electrically controlled $150 4x4 shocks... and have done so ever since....

I replaced a single failing air strut on my now gone LS 460 (thanks to a woman who couldn't read signs) on a car with then 117K miles with some rebuilt non-air and I was really happy with the result. No, it wasn't the same, but the ride on original sport air suspension was too brittle on my awful roads once you got past 90% road quality (truly bad in central Houston). I guess the point is that you shouldn't expect the same performance, but it might not be terrible. I was happier driving the car after replacing all the air struts for the same price as replacing one air strut at the dealer. The engine and trans were still great at 150K miles. Now that I am getting an ES, it won't matter for a while. But I have used and do trust KYB parts overall.

Actually, the front of the GX460 uses coil-over shocks which are technically different from struts. In the case of the GX460, it has upper and lower control arms, so the coil-overs only provide the spring and dampening functions. By comparison, most front wheel drive cars use MacPherson struts, and only have a lower control arm - the strut functions as the upper pivot and eliminates the upper control arm.
