GS450h 2007 Shock Absorber Failed

[Upex]

Sorry for late reply, didn't see this, oups.

All my bits came from Nippon auto spares, great company, great prices, fast delivery and very helpful. Only bit that disapointed me was that i ordered track rod ends, not realising the ball joint wasnt part of it. They didnt mention this and i couldnt return them as nippon had to special order them for me. Guess it was my fault for not confirming before ordering though.

So, I conclude there was nothing wrong with the shock absorber despite Inchcape Lexus, Derby telling me it needed replacing.
A local independent told me it was fine. The MOT Tester told me it was fine last year and this year, and Lexus Derby said it was OK when it went in for the 110K service this year.

What do I pay my local Lexus dealer for? Oh, I know.........
