Toyotas wonderful Airbag suspension

Postby Trls250s » Fri May 08, 2009 11:11 pm

Anyone had much dealings with this wonderful awesome invention toyota put into crowns, soarers and ls400s?

I have a torn rear airbag and was told it will be $2g to replace.

Anyone know anywhere you can get these bags repaired/replaced. Truck place? any ideas would help, im currently in the process of looking at alternative methods (coilovers)

Never heard of them being repaired, and it'd probably cost more than replacing them. Good chance the dampeners are shagged anyway

Whoever told you $2k for one strut is exaggerating..... a lot

Arnott's make replacements for the Celsiors/Ls400s which were a reasonable idea, but possibly not so much now the dollar has tanked.

What car is it anyway??

That said, they're still stupidly expensive
