Hi,

I have been lurking for over one year. Thanks to everyone on this board I learned a lot.

I searched the forum but could not find any answer.

My 95 LS400 trunk won't stay up. According to my local Toyota/Lexus specialist, 2 shocks need to be replaced. Both autozone.com and partsamerica.com don't carry this item.

Do I have to go to the dealer?

Anyone knows of a more economical way of doing this?

Thanks for your help.

You can replace your struts with non Lexus ones. Search this forum - I am 100% sure there is an article or link to the article saying how to replace struts.

There is a how to in the SC forum...try a searche for trunk strut or shock.

Otherwise, remove one of the struts form the trunk and take it to Autozone for a part match. I think you will stail have to remove the ball joints like the hood strut replacement.

Thanks for your reply.

I did search and found a thread in the SC forum. In that thread, the poster bought the strut from autozone.com or partsamerica.com. But I could not find it from both sites.

I posted this question again hoping someone has more update information.

I guess I will take one to my local Autozone.
