I do this every few years myself.

I think this must be an AU thing. I'm not finding anything here in the States.

I didn't know you SC430 guys had trunk strut problems too?

I recommend getting the struts made for trunks with a spoiler. On my spoiler-less SC300, it's makes the trunk shoot up by itself whenever I flip the switch to open it.

Maybe just have the dealer replace one. I also dont think it matters if you have a spoiler or not, go with the least expensive. I got mine replaced under my warranty in January.

Where did you purchase and who installed you Backup Cam?
