Rear N/s Strut Leaking....

[Grim Reepa]

I just had a service on my is200 and they found that the rear n/s strut is leaking and quoted me £335 to fix.....

Any one know where to get the parts for this online? I'm guessing I should replace both rear struts?

I take it thats each?

You might as well go for a complete upgrade to something like this.

standard practice to replace in pairs - pattern parts (KYB) are about £120

hi mate you can get kyb rear shocks for £108 for the pair all in from www. buypartsbuy.co.uk

i and other members have used them, i would also change shocks in pairs.

Well thats not bad at all.....having read some other topics it sounds like the KYB Shocks are the OEM shocks using on is200's anyway so a genuine part?

Also, if I bought these is a big job replacing them myself or is it best to get a pro to do it?

I have a similar problem, but both of mine are leaking (seeping) slightly. Dealer said OK to leave for now unless gets worse then might fail an MOT.

My understanding is that KYB make the shocks for Lexus so are the same part. £108 or so is a good price. I don't think they are that hard to do, there is a knowledge base item on them which might have been titled to change/upgrade shocks but shows the process.

I dunno if you have to renew any of the nuts/bolts as they may come threadlocked etc.

Have put off doing mine until another day as don't need to worry yet.
