does anyone know what brand is the ISX50 oem struts bar?

 

The car doesn't -have- struts, so I'm unsure what part you're trying to refer to

 

did u mean sways?

 

the part thats under the springs, isn't it called the strut?

 

Do you maybe mean the shock?

The 2IS doesn't use struts- struts are part of an entirely different type of suspension that this car does not have.

 

Strut/Shocks are basically the same thing...

 

They're really not.

struts are a structural part of the suspension. if you take off a strut, your suspension will no longer be fixed. take off the shocks on the IS and the suspension is still held in place by the upper and lower arms. therefore these are not struts.

If you'd like a better understanding of the differences in Macpherson (strut) suspensions vs. double wishbone (no struts, just shocks) suspension see here:

does anyone know the brand of the oem shocks?

 

The OEM manufacture is "TOKIKO".....this is the answer for the original question from the begining...somehow this thread turned into a suspension lesson between what is/or not a strut

 

Its actually.... "Tokico" ..

If the labels are still on your shocks, you will see that name printed on it.

 

Ooops...Thanks Joe....here is a better close up

 

Wow didnt know are car have tokico shocks on it thats nice to know!

 

First the shocks/struts clarification than a Tokiko/Tokico spelling clarification! hahaha so funny!

 

Well I guess we are ALL here to Learn and/or Teach something...

This thread needs a Re-Title...!!
"Do we have OEM Tokiko Struts..??" j/k

So are you referring to the shocks? If so, I believe that Tokico seems to be the answer. I think the "bar" after the strut was confusing.
