Crown Air struts help needed

Postby kirk28 » Wed Dec 09, 2009 1:59 pm

Hi guys,

Was wondering if anyone knew how much it would cost for two rear air struts for a 140 series Crown; I understand the price can vary alot depending where you go, and that the 140 shares the same air suspension with the 130/ 131. Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

You can get them 're-gassed'. From memory it costs about 50 a strut. My memory is hazy however. (assuming these struts are similiar to the ones under the supra bonnet.)

i cant remember the exact price but im fairly sure its cheaper to go proper aftermarket airbags than replace the factory ones, or swap to regular suspension from a lesser model crown etc
