I doubt anyone has tried it. Best keep your car on stands while posting the mounts to Orchard  Engineering and back.

Mind to support the wishbone in neutral position to avoid prolonged stress to the bushes (they will crack if you leave the car with wheels all way down for a few days).

 

 

I'm going to try the Avensis part due to the insane price of a new strut where I live ($1300 delivered online, $2500 dealer).

If I survive the spirited mountain driving testing it will endure then I will post about it.

I've just found this on eBay.  Waiting to hear from the supplier if fits struts with air bags instead of springs.

The pics show it's for coil spring but I (and others) need the (non-existent?) part for air suspension.  Previous owner of mine said their mechanic tried that part with no joy.

I'm going to try the Avensis part mentioned earlier as new strut assembly is $1300 delivered where I live and double from dealer.
