My TRD SUSKIT SuperStrut coilovers arrived today from ebay.

They are second hand and i would like to do as much as i can to service them before i fit them.

The shocks seem fine but im going to replace the upper ball joints on the TRD set. Would standard Toyots ball joints fit yes?
As far as i know TRD always use OEM parts when they can. Im also going to replace the Figure of 8 links in the Super Strut.


Im not going to go the expanse of changing the camber control arms and banana arms. Hopefully they're fine for another while yet.

It turns out that the rear set are KYB and not TRD as stated but KYB are pretty good and i got them for a good price. My only concern is matching the dampening setting on the rear to the front.

They are both 4 point adjustable. At the moment the TRDs are at 1 and the KYBs at 3 so im assuming that thats a close match but is there any way of measuring dampning force?
1 is soft and 4 is hard correct?

Is there any other bushes or small links that i should change while the suspension is ripped out?

KYB is who makes the struts for Toyota/TRD

Reallly? hopefully there wont be much of a difference so. THe TRD ones are black and green and marked TRD but the KYB ones are white and red and marked KYB
