Hi, I’m sure this has been a previous request, so apologies if I’m duplicating.

Just had my 1st annual service since owning the Alfie, absolutely love it! Everything was fine, and complimented by the garage on how clean everything was. The only thing to come up was a slight misting on one of the rear shocks. Not desperate, but where is the best place to buy genuine replacements. The garage is happy to fit them, if I source them myself. I am not mechanically minded!

Thanks

Genuine parts? Go to Toyota, they can order them in.

Hi, Chris, thank you. Do I take it from your question mark, that you would not necessarily go for genuine parts, are there better alternatives?

I can't advise on aftermarket, as I'm happy using the standard size wheels and suspension.

I go by the premise that the originals lasted 15 years, so I would replace with genuine Toyota.

I made a mistake with drop links, with one of them failing within 2 months.

there is nothing aftermarket on these shocks genuine toyota only

Thanks Chris, I’ll use genuine replacements. Thank you.
