Decided to go with 2863 springs and trusted OEM shocks all the way around on my ‘04 LX. After half the day at the shop gutting my hydraulic suspension and getting swapped over we’re finally ready to get her down off the rack. Once down I noticed my front end basically doing a severe nose dive. We look underneath and my front shocks are completely compressed! DOA front shocks straight from the dealership.
I was truly at a loss for words minus the few expletives I threw out there. We cranked the torsion bars up but that certainly wasn’t much help.
Called the dealership tI have them order up another set of front shocks. Guy says oh yeah you ordered Land Cruiser shocks but the part numbers for Lexus LX are different, and $150 more. Educated him on both being the same vehicle essentially and to just order the same Tokico shocks from my original order.
So now I’m riding around looking ridiculous while I wait for another set of shocks to show up Friday morning!
