2004 RX 330 Strut Replacement
I recently purchased a 2004 RX 330 AWD with 168,000 miles on it. Pretty clean car with the exception of the air struts. The RF had been replaced about 3-4 years ago but the others were now all failing. Over night the car would be sagging on all corners except the RF. So, after doing some research, I went with the Strutmaster DIY conversion kit. I won't say it was simple, but it wasn't very difficult. I don't know what the ride was like prior, I did't drive it much before the conversion, but I'm pleased with the ride.
2 questions- do I need to get a 4 wheel alignment? And, is there any market for the one good strut?
Thanks in advance.

It is possible to sell the air suspension. I almost bought a set of used ones when I had my 2004.
Also, with what you just saved in dollars, you may want to do an alignment.:-) Some dealers will say that there's really not much to adjust if replacement is OEM. It may be a different story with after market.
