Had a mystery clunk from my front end on a 21TRD pro. Drove me crazy and the dealership near me thought I was. Took it to another shop and they found my fox shocks lost the nitrogen charge that sits on the oil. New shocks, fixed.

Pros: new shocks, fixed
Cons: lost nitrogen charge
Mileage: 40000 km

As for shocks, Fox is the best route for offroad shocks. They use higher quality parts and fluids than anyone else in the industry.

Pros: higher quality parts

I think stiff sway bars and good tires make any car feel sporty, but sporty isn\u2019t always directly related to fun - anyone who has coilovers that are way too stiff can attest to this.

Pros: cornering more confident
Cons: coilovers too stiff

Put a set of 23 TRD OR take offs on my fathers 2011 prerunner and the best way to describe this set up is a mini budget level, the ride quality is way better than the worn oem pre runner shocks and the front end did gain close to an inch.

Pros: ride quality way better
Cons: mini budget level
Vehicle: Toyota

I put a set of those on my ‘09 in like 2018 or 2019...Didn’t really change the ride height but ride quality was noticeably better, but that’s probably mostly because of how sacked out my old shocks were.

Pros: ride quality noticeably better
Cons: didn't change ride height
Vehicle: Toyota

ended up needing to replace all four shocks (rears are DIY friendly - did it myself). Now that the shocks are all new it rides like a dream.

Pros: rides like a dream
Cons: twitchy electric steering
Vehicle: Toyota Sienna

My mother drove her 2010 Corolla for 11 years and 320,000 km with no breakdowns and only (frankly spotty and frequently late) basic maintenance before passing it off to my brother, who still drives it every day it with 350k kms (edit: 220k miles). The shocks probably need replacement at some point in the nearer term but those are wear items and the car spent most of its life on terrible Saskatchewan roads, so I can’t really blame it for that.

Pros: no breakdowns, basic maintenance
Cons: shocks need replacement
Mileage: 320000 km
