I have a 2021 LX570 with around 40,000 miles on it. I recently had a brake job done at an independent Toyota shop, and the mechanic mentioned that my rear left shock absorber is leaking. He recommended I take it to the dealership for replacement, since it’s still under warranty.
However, upon checking again, I am not entirely sure it is severe enough to warrant a replacement right now. My philosophy is usually “it still works, don’t fix it” but I don’t want to ignore a potential issue, especially if it’s covered by warranty.
I have attached photos comparing the left (allegedly leaking) shock and the right one. Could anyone advise if this looks bad enough to replace immediately? Any input or personal experience with LX570 shock leaks would be greatly appreciated!
