Default warranty

does anyone know for sure if the TRD shocks are covered by lifetime warranty? if so, they have to be the best option out there for shocks. only thing is i think you have to have them installed at a toyota dealership and i know installation is expensive.

I am also pretty sure TRD Shocks are not covered if you use any springs besides TRD or Stock

yes the TRD springs and shocks are covered by a lifetime warranty, you can email them yourself. its covered by ware and tare under normal use. that means you can be goin off roading blah blah and have then replace it if it blows. you cant have any other coil on the shocks except for the TRD for the warranty to be valid.



yes the TRD shocks will work with the TEIN S.TECH's because the TEIN's are the same as the stock springs but only stiffer and shorter. but the placement on the shock itself doesnt change.

all company's that make shocks/struts back there product with a lifetime warranty of not blowing out if used properly.


if you guy want to say im stupid go read TEIN's policy, BILSTEIN, TOKICO, KONI, and any other manfacturers

So then it would be better to just go ahead and run the s techs on stock springs until the shocks made for a 2 inch drop come out. ok thanks guys. good info

Are the springs still on backorder on your site? And i know i could probably just find it on your site but how much would shipping be on a set of those?

I emailed TRD and never got a response back. But I did visit their site and under the warranty section I didn't see anything about lifetime warranty on the springs. For the springs they have a 1 year warranty, regardless of mileage, from the date of installation on the vehicle or the remainder of the vehicle's warranty, whichever provides greater coverage. The TRD Level 1 Sport Parts warranty covers not only the defective dealer-installed TRD Sport Part, but also any Toyota-warranted parts that is damaged by the defective dealer-installed TRD part.

As for the shocks, TRD offers a limited lifetime warranty feature on dealer-installed shocks and struts that becomes effective from the date the Toyota Comprehensive Warranty expires and extends for as long as the original purchasing customer owns the vehicle. The limited lifetime extension covers parts replacement only (no labor) and requires the submission of a copy of the dealer repair order as original purchase verification.

And for the other companies I haven't really researched their policies/warranties but I think they only warrant their products. Not damage done to your car by their product unlike TRD which does if the product was installed at a toyota dealership. But then of course there's the Moss-Magnussen Act. In which in short, the dealer has to prove the damage was done by the actual product.
