I recently got too acquainted with a pot hole and destroyed both tires on the drivers side and I believe the struts. I tried aftermarket struts but the ride still wasn't up to par. I was told that you can only use Toyota parts on a Toyota automobile. Fact or Fiction?

Hi there,

Toyota struts are very good quality, but with everything in this world nowadays you get what you pay for. Cheaper after market struts are just that. Cheap. There are good quality after market units but you will pay a premium for the quality, I know what I would rather have.
