I got a 2005 4 Runner that recently failed inspection due to a bad strut mount...after ordering the toyota factory replacement part, my mechanic noticed it has the X-REAS suspension, and being new to him and I think hearing the dangers of damaging the line, refused to touch it. I was told to contact Toyota Service Center and see if they can help me but im reading its an expensive fix bbecause if you replace one strut/shock, you must replace the entire system. I dont have a bad strut, just the mount. Ive been reading online that people have completely replaced suspension, eliminating X-REAS, but I dont think I should consider that. Also...there are posts online of people putting in a spacer lift without interupting the hydraulic lines (mine too already has the 1 1/2-2" lift) but work has to be in the wheel well due to X-REAS...I need to get my vehicle legal and on the road again...aby suggestions or thoughts on the matter are much appreciated...Thanks
