Smile replaced struts 2008

Noticed a light feeling in the steering and poor ttacking while driving. Had the struts (not springs replaced) Drives like new again. 170k. Well worth the cost to me. IMO better than replacing the entire assembly (springs), at a higher labor cost.

What type of struts did you replace with? I just bought a 2008 400h at ~150k and am starting to get a sense that this floaty, loose, feeling isn't what the Lexus felt like before...
