I recently bought a 2005 Lexus ES330 with 200k miles, the car looks and runs great, the previous owner did tell me that it would probably need new struts. How do I know which struts I need for the car? Went to the lexus parts website and found out there are struts for models with ride control, models without ride control and there are struts for an electronic suspension. Do I need to get OEM struts or is there any reputable aftermarket manufacturer that is recommended for Lexus/Toyota?
OEM all the way. Is this Lexus a base model or does it have any options added?
This car is loaded with heated and ventilated seats,voice recognition navigation system, 6 disc cd changer, rear sunshade, everything still works. I has a comfort and sport knob that you can adjust to your liking.
Then you're going to have to get the special struts then. If you have different driving modes, then you'll need the special ones and like I said earlier, OEM all the way.
Agree with @kesterpaul62 regarding OEM.
The supple ride of a Lexus is a desirable trait that you shouldn’t tamper with.
