front shock blown at 31k?
today I was driving and kept hearing a sound when going over bumps, took into a local trusted shop and they showed the front passenger shock that was leaking and said the shock is blown and both fronts need to be changed.
is this normal? never had one go out so early on me?
also I know it under warranty but the car is dropped on Tanabe NF210's currently. are there any local dealers that will cover the warranty without issue? or do I need to go back to stock?

Get it back to stock and goto the dealer while pretending you donno wat has happened Cas there will be some marks that will tell the Lexus technician that the suspension was modified.

As soon as they see that the nuts and bolts have been touched and its not logged in Lexus database, they will decline.
Either go aftermarket or buy OEM online and have a local shop install it. I had Toyota install my new ones after my shocks got messed up from lowering it.

Maybe I'm not searching correctly, but I don't see much aftermarket options for shocks/struts for the 4GS. Even KYB doesn't have anything and i've sworn by KYBs over the last decade. I imagine this is because of the AVS / Sport+ mode in the F-Sport/Lux package versions...?

My F-Sport blew a front shock at 13,000 miles, replaced under warranty.

But they come with their own springs.
