How easy is it to replace the trunk struts, my trunk will not stay up at all, can it be done by any mechanic or is it a lexus only thing(or Toyota)

 

You can buy them on ebay and it is a do it your self deal if you can hold a screw driver

 

KWPTA,, do a search in this forum on "trunk struts" and you will find great threads on where to buy and how to install. I bought some through one of the vendors mentioned and installed them in five minutes. It's easy and will cost all of around $60 compared to some reports in the forum of $250-$300 at some dearlerships. BTW, the new ones work just great.

 

If you have a warranty or Certified warranty, it should be covered

 

Yes, the OEM struts seem to be designed to die after around 4 years, about the time the warranty runs out. I've seen several of them die right at 4 years.

 

Mine just died recently. Need to get some new ones.
