My 2008 just rolled to 194k and has the original battery as far as I know. I've put 42k miles on it and have only changed fluids and filters. I did replace all 4 struts but half the reason was I installed a lift kit, other half was some consistent funny wear on a rear tire. Replaced an axle since I damaged the threads. Replaced the sway bar links because they were seized to the struts. It's been a great little unit.
Owner reviews for strut assembly
Just did Monroe quick struts on my Avalon had a blown stock strut didn’t even have to think about which brand to pick.
Added a modest 40mm lift, upgraded to a better quality Bilstein struts when it was time. Added Falken Wildpeak AT tires.
I did Gabriel struts/shocks on both gen3 prii. Would recommend.
Bought KYB’s from summit racing and did the job for under $300 parts.
if you’re on a budget go with ST, BC or even just the tried and true bilstein struts with H&R springs
On my 2018 Silverado Z71 I used the Rancho RS9000xl quick lift struts and RS9000xl shocks out back. Completely changed the ride of my truck. With 9 levels of adjustment I was able to find the ride I liked and able to really firm up the rear when towing a boat or travel trailer.
210 dollars profit on the kyb struts.
Put those on a 2010 legacy and am not happy with the ride quality and they made noise. Went to kyb. Nothing like throwing money away.
I had the same problem with a set of Gabriel struts.
