I had the same problem as you. Hitting bump stops as I went over speed bumps when the car was full. I changed my absorbers but the problem persisted. I wondered if it was the coil springs but every single person I asked including mechanics said that coil springs couldn't go bad. I finally...

Hey great to know there are Malaysians around here! So are you still based here or? Yes I did buy a steering rack from from Wing Hin years ago for my LX470...but I'm from Sabah so it's a bit of a hassle. Anyway if the inner TREs go bad in 6 mths time I'm going to make sure I order from them.

Thanks for your advice...so I went and confirmed that the TREs were bad, one of the boots were ripped and they were moving without any resistance when free from the steering arm. No play on the rack-ends (inner TREs) but also absolutely no tension whatsoever...if I let go, it would just droop...

Yes it's the right model according to Koni's official site, and the info from searches on this forum. But the seller lists it as compatible for the Prado only. It's only the rear, the prices are similar to what I find elsewhere, it's the low shipping charges that's making me take a serious look...

Sorry if this is inappropriate but since this is the official Koni thread I thought I'd ask.... Would you guys buy from this ebay vendor? Koni Shock Absorber Heavy Track Red Rear axle 2x 88-1748 | eBay Well his shipping to where I reside is incredibly cheap but on the other hand he lists...
