glenmore Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I just repalced my strut bar cushions on my 1990, 152m, and the cheapest I found was from Park Place for $120 each. Replacement is easy DIY, just plug and play. Only difficulty is that you will need a 24mm deep socket so get one of these before you start. glenmore 1990 LS400 1991 300CE 2000 C280 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qha_vn Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 thanks guys for great help i 've got a site offering what i want however a bit pricy: www.parkplaceplanoparts.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenmore Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 $120? Another example of Lexus part ripoff. A Mercedes steering damper? $24!!!! Are you sure you need a new damper? Take it off and test it. It simply should have no flat spots as you compress and expand it. glenmore 1990 LS400 1991 300CE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qha_vn Posted March 12, 2007 Author Share Posted March 12, 2007 no its not $120, the dealer says they have it out of stock but can order from somewhere for me at $240.92. would I cancel the order now? have no chance to test if the part is faulty unfortunately, it was removed by the ex-owner (or someone) I find the steering so responsive that i can use a finger to steer when the car is in P. at over 50 mph, steering wheel becomes even more responsive, i feel it unsafe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the strut cushions from Park Place for $120 each and they did have to order them. Are you saying that your place is asking $240.92 for one cushion? If that is the case, cancel the order and buy from Park Place. The other poster commented that the damper was $120 from IronToad. I haven't seen a price on the damper but I think $120 is outrageous considering that a typical Mercedes steering damper is only about $25 (not that a Mercedes part would fit the Lexus). glenmore 1990 LS400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qha_vn Posted March 13, 2007 Author Share Posted March 13, 2007 Hi Glenmore, $240.92 is for the damper, strut bar cushion is $145 each i cant find the damper in IronToad, could you please give me a link thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenmore Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Just called Park Place, the strut cushions are $120 and the damper is $207. This is an unbelieveable price! It looks like a simple shock absorber just like the steering damper on my Mercedes C280 or Mercedes 300CE. The Mercedes part is like $25. Call Irontoad and maybe they have it for $120 as lex90 mentioned. No wonder your previous owner just chose not to replace it. glenmore 1990 LS400 1991 300CE 2000 C280 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenmore Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Just got a quote from Irontoad. They are asking $117 for the steering damper like lex90 said. Still outrageously overpriced. glenmore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
