2010 Toyota OEM Suspension - Replace based on age alone? (3 Viewers)

[cbang]

2010 w/ 51k miles - Since I have no comparison for ride and handling quality thought I'd reach out here. OEM non-leaking/non-problematic stock suspension in place, but now that the vehicle is 15+ years old think it must be time to replace shocks, rubber parts, bushings, etc.

Looking for recommendations on what to consider proactively based on age alone with regard to suspension components. Sticking with Toyota OEM. Have spacers front and back w/ KO2's (285/65/18) which is the extent of "mods" on this rig.

Cheers

The two general parameters are time and mileage - time results in deterioration due to exposure to the elements (sunlight, ozone, salt, etc.) and mileage is physical wear and tear from use.

I'm not seeing where either applies to your 200. Crawl underneath and give it a hard visual exam, but at 51k I bet it looks nearly new.


Were there any more 200s in that time capsule?

This thing is MINT. Beautiful truck and crazy low mileage.

Put the front on jack stands and check the LCA and sway bar link bushings for cracking when the suspension is dropped out.

At that chassis mileage dry rot is about your only real risk. I put new factory dampers on my rig when I got it at 105k and couldn’t tell a difference.. these things are built to last.
