Default LS430 trunk supports

My Lexus 430 has weak trunk support pistons. Does anyone know where to get new ones?

The search bar here is your friend.

That being said, the units I bought from @FIGS have been excellent, albeit a bit more expensive than the cheapo amazon ones.

Bought on Amazon a couple of years ago for $16.99 for the pair: A-Premium Tailgate Rear Trunk Lift Supports Shock Struts Replacement for Lexus LS430 2001-2006
Had a good rating and still working fine as the day they were installed....

Make sure the ones you get have the ***** that thread into the body. They can't be removed from the originals unless you cut them out.

As various countries manufacture aftermarket brands, country of origin mark also varies.
