So, my Rav has now done 139k with full Toyota Service record.
Not that I notice, but is it worth getting all four shock absorbers changed ? Or just carry on ?
No off roading, no heavy cargo and not very many rear passengers in the back in all the 10 years I have owned it.
Also what make of shocks are best for the Rav ?
I never buy the cheapest, what I'm normally offered in these cases, I take the next choice up.
Thanks
Bobby

Toyota shocks do seem to go on forever , so if not leaking people tend to leave them alone 👍🏻 I replaced the rear shocks on my 4.2 with just over 100k on the clock as they were cheap to buy, didn’t notice any improvement in the ride 😕

If not leaking I would leave alone. Previous Avensis did 180k including towing a caravan with no issue (most miles were done with only me in the car)

If it ain't broke, don't fix it :TU: Save the money for when tyres or brakes need 'doing'.

If there has been no deterioration in ride quality or any leaks I’d leave it alone. No point in borrowing a problem 👍👍👍

I'm getting the answers that I expected.
Being serviced by Toyota, they have never spotted leaks, so they must be fine.
In regards to the ride quality, the Rav has never been the best ride, but certainly not the worst.
When I bought this, I jumped out of a Lexus RX 300 and boy did I notice the ride difference, but I soon got used to the different ride quality.
Thanks for all your feedback.
