I just spent (literally today) a little over $1000 on all four new struts because they were causing the steering wheels to shimmy. The last time I had them replaced was when my 1998 ES300 had about 50K. It was covered by warranty then. I was told that we need to have them replaced every 60K. Mine has 160K miles on it. I do have a question about Yokohama tires. Any opinion on the YK520? Thanks. JS

I am not sure its exact location, but was told it's next to the fuel injection. I was also told it's about a two-hour job. How much did it cost yours done? Or did you do it yourself?

I have a 1998 ES300 with 151K miles. Recently, because of leaks in three different areas, I spent $2,500 to replace all seals, gaskets, camshaft valves, all belts and water pump. The car runs very well (and quiet too), although I feel like the pick up is not as good as it used to be. My mechanic (an independent mechanic) asked me when was the last time I had the fuel filter replaced. He said he always recommend his client to replace the fuel filter every 60K miles. I checked my old record from the dealer, but it did not show any replacement of fuel filter. Anyone has any advise? - Julia
